Rishab Raj
Software Development Engineer Intern @ Lolocab • Full-Stack AI Engineer
Engineering systems that
multiply leverage.
I build high-concurrency backends, autonomous AI pipelines, and edge-optimized microservices aligned directly with business ROI. Code engineered to eliminate latency bottlenecks, scale gracefully, and endure heavy loads.
Specialized domain knowledge.
A strict focus on high-throughput backend mechanics, JVM concurrency, autonomous web extraction pipelines, and high-impact engineering leadership.
Agentic AI & Scraping
Engineering node-based workflows and LLM extraction pipelines with Gemini AI, Puppeteer, and cron scheduling.
High-Concurrency JVM
Building bare-metal socket servers and thread pooling in Java that slash memory usage by 35% under peak traffic.
Edge & Cloud Architecture
Deploying global serverless API routes and dynamic SEO pipelines using Cloudflare Workers, HonoJS, Node.js, and AWS.
Org Leadership & Honors
Scaled IEEE MAIT student branch to 160+ members and 2,000+ outreach, honored with national Outstanding Branch & J.K. Pal awards.
Execution Framework
Code is a commodity.
Judgment is not.
Scaling products requires a multi-disciplinary lens. Systems must be evaluated against user psychology, speed to market, and fault-tolerant engineering.
Cognitive Friction is the Enemy
A mathematically fast backend is useless if the user abandons the interface. I design data flows that reduce human friction, optimizing for intuitive state management over unnecessary technical acrobatics.
Market Viability > Mechanics
Every line of code is a business liability until it generates real leverage. Technical decisions—from edge compute routing to relational schema indexing—are evaluated strictly against reliability, time-to-market, and measurable value.
Compound Execution Over Heroics
Sustainable engineering velocity isn't built on late-night firefighting. It is created through modular clean code, observable telemetry, resilient error boundaries, and deep architectural documentation.
Proof of Work
Systems & Architecture.
Architected an intelligent web scraping platform featuring a drag-and-drop UI for custom workflows and an AI-powered data extraction module delivering 85% accuracy on unstructured data.
Implemented a robust, automated backend system using a cron-based scheduler and a comprehensive logging module for performance optimization and error tracking.
Engineered a high-availability (99.9% uptime) real-time chat application, implementing a WebSocket architecture for instantaneous messaging and securing all endpoints with JWT authentication.
Made a comprehensive, multi-format file-sharing system (10MB upload capacity) and optimized UI performance by 40% through efficient state management with Zustand.
Built a high-performance, multi-threaded web server and benchmarked it at 1M+ RPS.
Created efficient thread pooling system that reduced memory usage by 35% compared to the naive implementation.
Social - A Social Media App (Backend)
Enterprise-grade relational social graph engine
Engineered robust user authentication leveraging Spring Security and JWT, successfully securing 15+ RESTful API endpoints and managing secure user sessions.
Designed and developed a scalable, RESTful backend using Spring Boot and PostgreSQL, architecting the database schema and complex business logic for all core social features (posts, follows, likes & user profile).
Developed a production-grade full-stack platform optimized for global edge compute networks.
Utilized HonoJS and Prisma to build ultra-responsive API routes with near-zero cold-start latency.
