Software Engineer Intern

GTT Communications · Pune, India

By developing Python-driven automation tools for log aggregation, anomaly detection, and performance trend analysis across distributed network services, the efficacy of system monitoring increased by 20%.
To reduce the amount of human troubleshooting, structured log parsing and warning systems were developed to identify latency increases, packet losses, and anomalies in resource utilization.
By running regression test suites and assessing system-level performance under simulated load situations, I helped verify firmware and hardware-software integration.
Developed and put into practice structured test cases that adhered to functional specifications, recording problems, their root causes, and the results of solutions to improve traceability and release assurance.
To increase system visibility during validation and speed up issue discovery and inter-team debugging collaboration, simplified diagnostic and telemetry tools were developed.
Participated in performance benchmarking projects that assessed response time, memory use, and throughput under pressure.
