Shridhara PavelSoftware engineer focused on systems, infrastructure, and application reliability

I build and troubleshoot software across the stack, from production applications and backend services to deployment tooling and lower-level systems experiments. Recent work includes reviving and modernizing an inherited Flutter/Go platform, supporting deployments and production debugging, and building technical projects across systems, data, and GPU computing.

Technical notes & videos

Explaining hard things

I make technical videos and writeups to deepen my own understanding of difficult systems topics, including GPU computing, machine-learning internals, software architecture, and low-level implementation details.

Experience

Where I've been

Aug 2025 – Aug 2026

Toronto, ON (Remote)

Technical Consultant

88 Analytics

  • Client engagement (Dwellago): revived and modernized an inherited Flutter/Go real-estate platform using logs, error output, and systematic defect reproduction across client, backend, API, and deploy layers.
  • Migrated dependencies and updated substantial client/backend portions while preserving business logic; validated critical workflows before release.
  • Supported Docker-based services, CI/CD, backend deployment, Android packaging, release validation, and post-release stabilization.
  • Worked with client developers and non-technical stakeholders on priorities, tradeoffs, known limitations, and handoff documentation.

May 2025 – Aug 2025

Montreal, QC (Remote)

AI Solutions Engineering Intern

Iter Innovandi

  • Built and tested document and inventory-management workflows across processing, extraction, retrieval, and application pipelines.
  • Troubleshot difficult inputs and edge cases, adjusted configurations, validated results, and routed uncertain outputs for human review.
  • Wrote technical and operational documentation covering workflow behaviour, configuration, known limitations, and developer handoff.

Apr 2024 – Dec 2024

Toronto, ON (Remote)

Technical Consultant, Product R&D

88 Analytics

  • Built and tested SaaS and data-driven application prototypes using Python, REST APIs, web technologies, and AWS-hosted services.
  • Troubleshot integration and configuration issues throughout development; led iterative testing, Git-based collaboration, and technical documentation.

About

I like systems that need investigation.

My recent work has focused on understanding inherited software, tracing failures through logs and dependencies, modernizing applications, supporting deployment, and stabilizing production workflows.

Through 88 Analytics, I have worked on paid application-development and modernization engagements, including the revival of an inherited Flutter and Go platform. Outside client work, I build technical projects across distributed systems, data tooling, GPU computing, and multiplayer software.

I am particularly interested in infrastructure, networking, platform engineering, and security-oriented work where strong troubleshooting and systems knowledge matter.

Based in Vancouver, BC. Open to full-time roles, technical contracts, and selected research collaborations.

Building something difficult?

I'm open to software and infrastructure roles, technical contracts, and collaborations involving application modernization, backend systems, debugging, deployment, or technically unusual problems.
