# Ameesha Priya on Tal

## Headline

SWE \| Distributed Systems, AI Agent Evaluation \| CMU SCS

## About

I'm a Software Development Engineer with 4\+ years of experience building distributed systems and event\-driven backend platforms at scale\. My work spans Kafka\-based streaming architectures, cloud\-native microservices, and production ownership, including owning support for a live derivatives trading system at Bank of America as the sole India\-based contact for a US trading team\. I hold a Master's in Software Engineering from Carnegie Mellon, with a focus on distributed systems and cloud computing\. Most recently, I've been designing evaluation frameworks for LLM agent behavior working at the intersection of backend engineering and applied AI\. I enjoy taking ambiguous, large\-scale problems and turning them into systems that hold up under real production load\. Currently exploring roles in distributed systems and AI/ML backend engineering\. More about my work: https://resume\-chatbot\-frontend\-puce\.vercel\.app/
