03A little about me

A foundation in frontend engineering.

Vishnu KalanadSenior Software Engineer

My interest in software began in 2017, while studying computer science. Since then, I’ve worked on enterprise applications where usability, reliability, and maintainable code matter every day.

At Digiledge, I progressed from Software Engineer to Senior Software Engineer, delivering banking dashboards and leading frontend development for multi-tenant platforms. My work spanned architecture, API integration, automated testing, and stakeholder-led releases.

Alongside enterprise frontend engineering, I build full-stack and AI-powered applications: integrating LLMs, orchestrating agents, and designing retrieval and multi-step workflows. I focus on clean architecture, reliable outputs, and practical performance and cost trade-offs.
