Vybavnag Kandasamy.Ship-first engineer. AI infrastructure by day, system-design platforms by night.
I'm a software engineer at UKG building AI/MLOps infrastructure— OpenTelemetry tracing across AI microservices, Go pipelines on GCP, Pub/Sub feedback loops that turn customer signal into product. On the side I'm building Gateway: an AI-native system-design canvas that ships to AWS with one click.
Where I've shipped.
Aug 2025 – Present
UKG
Software Engineer I
Instrumented all AI pillar microservices with OpenTelemetry, enabling end-to-end distributed tracing and reducing mean time to debug production incidents by 40%.
Jan 2025 – Jun 2025
Universal Audio
Software Engineer Capstone
Researched and developed a 4-input, 4-output audio device on a microcontroller with real-time DSP capabilities.
Sep 2024 – Dec 2024
TextBuddy
Software Engineer Intern
Built an SMS-based application in Java/Spring enabling LLM access for users without internet connectivity.
Gateway.
AI-native system design platform. Draw architectures, ship them with one click.
Draw, test, and review the system. All with AI. Ship it.
An AI-native system-design canvas. Sketch services on a React+Vite canvas, and AI agents simulate failure, audit the design, and suggest fixes. Terraform and Helm then provision real EKS workloads. Built with FastAPI and LangChain.
