Deepthika Sivaram

AI/ML Engineer · Backend Software Engineer · Previously at Citi

Building reliable backend systems and practical AI solutions.

I work at the intersection of backend engineering and applied AI—turning ideas into systems that are reliable, observable, and production-ready.

Previously at Citigroup, I built and owned backend platforms used by hundreds of engineers, led cross-team releases, and explored ML-assisted automation through internal innovation initiatives. Today, my focus is on AI/ML systems, including NLP, model-driven pipelines, and LLM-powered tooling.

Outside of engineering, I love painting, singing, and spending time with friends—usually discovering new places or unwinding after a long build-and-ship cycle. I try to keep life balanced with creativity, curiosity, and experiences worth remembering.
