Neil Pasricha / Software Engineer

I’m a software engineer in Austin, currently at Amazon. Most of my recent work has been around customer-impacting security systems and AI-assisted remediation workflows. Earlier work spans full-stack AI products, cloud infrastructure, mobile apps, and founder-built software.

  • Large systems with measured outcomes
  • LLM tooling for security and operational workflows
  • Product and platform ownership from design through rollout

Founder work

MindSync, Savidj, Bubble Media

Took early product ideas from concept to architecture to working software across privacy-sensitive, health-adjacent, VR, biofeedback, mobile, and consumer-product spaces.

Approach

How I tend to work.

Turning ambiguity into execution

I work well when the path is still forming: align stakeholders, define a technical plan, ship the first credible version, and use what we learn to make the next decision sharper.

AI work tied to systems

I focus on places where models sit inside a real product or operating workflow: retrieval, context building, review loops, and tooling that reduces engineering analysis time.

Systems that hold up under constraints

My background spans security-sensitive work, deployment operations, cloud infrastructure, and systems where compatibility and rollout discipline matter as much as implementation speed.

Ownership beyond just code

Founder work and consulting both taught me to think in terms of outcomes: what should ship, what matters most now, and what makes the next decision easier.
