About
I’m Rishi Poddar — a software engineer and full-stack developer from Mumbai, finishing my B.Sc. in Information Technology at Thakur College in May 2026. Right now I’m a Software Developer Intern at SNSS Global, building full-stack modules and prototyping AI integrations with the Gemini API.
I like taking things all the way: six of my projects run live in production — financial analysis tools, an NLP fake-news classifier, a fine-tuned FinBERT sentiment model — each with its own CI/CD pipeline on Vercel. One of them, Promptify, took 1st place at the Jai Hind College tech competition among 30+ teams.
Along the way I’ve picked up 11+ certifications from Google Cloud, Columbia University, SAS, NVIDIA, and Neo4j — mostly in machine learning and Generative AI, because that’s where the interesting problems are.
