Rithinteja Aechan: AI, Product, Cloud

Portfolio LinkedIn Email

Typing introduction

Hey, I'm Rithin 👋

I'm a Computer Science student at the Georgia Institute of Technology 🐝 (AI + Human-Computer Interaction, May 2028) who enjoys working where software engineering, AI product development, and cloud delivery meet.

  • I build agentic AI, RAG, machine-learning, and full-stack products.
  • I enjoy taking systems from prototype to dependable cloud deployment.
  • I bring a product mindset through customer discovery, requirements, roadmaps, metrics, and iteration.
  • Outside of engineering, I'm an Eagle Scout and a lifelong believer in learning by building.

Experience at a glance

Experience Timeline Public-safe snapshot
Zoox, AI TPM May 2026 – Present Worked on production AI and cloud delivery. Private GitHub snapshot (2026): 321 contributions, 134 PRs authored, and 49 PRs reviewed. Employer source code and implementation details are confidential.
Microsoft, AI Product Manager Fellow Sep 2025 – Dec 2025 Used customer research and data analysis to shape an agentic-AI workflow, product requirements, success metrics, and a React-based MVP.
MetLife, Software Engineer Intern Jun 2025 – Dec 2025 Built machine-learning/data systems and cloud automation spanning 2M+ records and 9 regions. The employer repository is private and is not mirrored here.
Georgia Tech GROWER Lab, Lead Cloud Data Engineering Research Assistant Aug 2024 – May 2026 Led a 20-member engineering research team and worked on AWS data pipelines, containers, and cloud cost optimization. This work is hosted under the Urban Research Group, so it may not be fully represented on my personal contribution graph.

About the gaps in my graph: My Zoox and MetLife engineering work lives in private employer repositories. Some Georgia Tech research is organization-hosted. The public repositories below are the best view of what I can share.

Featured builds

Project What it does Stack
Provenance Guard Multi-signal AI authorship attribution API with transparent confidence scoring, audit logs, rate limiting, and a creator appeals workflow. Python, Flask, Groq, SQLite, LLM evaluation
TakeMeter Fine-tuned DistilBERT classifier for NBA discourse quality with 84.8% test accuracy, error analysis, and an interactive demo. Python, Hugging Face, DistilBERT, Gradio
FitFindr Multi-tool AI agent for secondhand fashion search, price comparison, trend lookup, wardrobe-aware styling, and shareable fit cards. Python, Groq, Gradio, tool orchestration
The Unofficial Guide RAG campus-dining assistant with source-grounded answers, evaluation scripts, and documented retrieval choices. Python, RAG, embeddings, LLM evaluation
BubbleDate Dashboard Product dashboard for referral, event, earnings, and engagement workflows. Next.js, TypeScript, React, Firebase, Tailwind CSS
Gator Scheduler Cross-platform school scheduling and communication app with calendars, reminders, sharing, and authentication. React Native, Expo, Firebase, JavaScript
More AI learning and open-source work
  • Plant Advisor: tool-using conversational plant-care agent.
  • Mixtape: Flask/SQLAlchemy social-music debugging exercise.
  • CineLog: simulated code-review work on a film-tracking service.
  • BookClub: reading tracker API built with Flask and SQLAlchemy.
  • PathReview: fork used for simulated open-source contribution work on an AI portfolio-review platform.

These repositories document hands-on AI product engineering practice: specs, tool design, RAG, evaluation, debugging, code review, testing, and responsible-AI tradeoffs.

Other projects from my portfolio

  • AgriRover: AI-powered agricultural rover that processed 9,000+ field images and reached 89% detection accuracy using computer vision, sensor fusion, GPS telemetry, Django, and Firebase.
  • EEG-controlled prosthetic arm: Sub-$300 prototype with 87% signal-classification accuracy and 120 ms inference latency using C++, TensorFlow, Arduino, Bluetooth, and sensor fusion.
