Software Engineer
Building elegant, scalable applications.
I’m a software engineer who cares about clean interfaces, strong systems, and building things that feel good to use. I believe simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
From backend engineering to user experience, I try to create software that stays out of the way and quietly does its job well, but stands out when it needs to.

A personal playground for low-level Node.js - worker-thread abstractions for real multithreading, geohashes, semaphores, and other things I built because I was curious how they actually work.
A real-time collaborative IDE I built to see how far I could push live editing - powered by Next.js, WebSockets, and CRDTs, with 20+ users syncing without stepping on each other.
An AI-powered exam proctoring system using TensorFlow and MediaPipe - reduced false positives by ~30% with smarter rules and real-time face/eye tracking. Started as a uni project, ended up actually being used by professors.
An interactive canvas tool for exploring pixel-level algorithms like Bresenham, flood-fill, and more. Built this so I could actually see how they behave on a real machine, not just on paper.
A configurable cellular-automaton playground that pushes Conway's Game of Life way past the basics - totalistic rules, an agent-based ecosystem, Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion, and custom per-cell JS. Typed-array sim loops, a pan/zoom canvas, and whole universes encoded into shareable URLs, all in ~17KB gzipped.
They say tools don’t make the craftsman, but I still enjoy collecting good ones. Always learning new tech, while still enjoying the classics.

Abstract. I'm a software engineer who cares about clean interfaces, strong systems, and building things that feel good to use. I believe simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. From backend engineering to user experience, I try to create software that stays out of the way and quietly does its job well, but stands out when it needs to. This document surveys five deployments of that idea in industry, five more at home, and the tools involved.
Keywords: full-stack development, system design, user experience, open to interesting work
Section 1 was the abstract. It did not need a second paragraph. Prior work is listed in reverse chronological order, following the convention of every resume since the invention of the resume.

Chakradhar Reddy
Software engineer · Bengaluru, India · chakri.me
I’m Chakradhar, a software engineer in Bengaluru. I care about clean interfaces, strong systems, and building things that feel good to use. Mostly I try to make software that stays out of the way and quietly does its job well, and stands out only when it needs to.
These days I’m at Even Healthcare, working on healthcare systems: AI-powered call automation, internal tooling, and performance-heavy frontend flows. The running theme is making complex internal tools less painful to use. Before that I was at Zomato, first as an intern and then as an engineer, on delivery logistics: onboarding flows, ticketing systems, and pipelines that ingest GPS pings from delivery agents. TypeScript at the front, Go at the back, large data pipelines somewhere in between.
Earlier still, backend and infrastructure at Shinpo Engineering, where I built and scaled a Strapi-based ERM and containerised services on AWS. And before that, a portal and dashboards that automate tax document processing for the UP Commercial Tax Department, built at WCARL while I was studying at IIIT Lucknow.
When I’m not doing that, I build things to find out how they actually work. Life Sim is Conway’s Game of Life pushed way past the basics, with reaction-diffusion, an agent-based ecosystem, and whole universes that fit in a URL. CodeCollab is a real-time collaborative IDE on CRDTs. get-proctored.ai started as a uni project and ended up actually being used by professors. There’s also Node Utils, my playground for low-level Node.js, and a Pixel Drawing Simulator for watching Bresenham and flood-fill behave on a real machine instead of on paper.
Other things that are true: I’m a Codeforces expert, I was a finalist at the India Science Festival’s national hackathon, and I once built an autonomous drone that ended up in The Times of India.
If you have an interesting problem, an interesting role, or just want to nerd out about technology and design, write back. I’m open to interesting work, and I answer my email.
