Software Engineer at Exasol · Chennai, India

I am a software engineer at Exasol. I build developer tools and AI agents that work over real databases, and I care about the parts most demos skip: the installer that has to work on a stranger’s laptop, the read-only login that cannot be misused, the SQL you get to see before it runs.

Before Exasol I spent a year as an AI intern at Prayag.AI, working on Python backend services, LLM integrations, agent workflows and database-backed applications.

I finished a B.Tech in Information Technology in June 2026. I am interested in backend engineering, AI engineering, developer tools, agentic systems, database technologies and forward-deployed engineering.
