About
Hello!I’m Heet Manish Kanani, a software engineer with 3+ years of full-time experience along with 8 months of software engineering internship experience, focused on building scalable backend systems, distributed applications, and AI-driven platforms.I recently graduated with a Master’s in Computer Science from Northeastern University in April 2026 with a 4.0 GPA, and I’m currently looking for full-time Software Engineering opportunities starting immediate.Most recently, I completed an 8-month Software Engineering Co-op at New York Life, where I developed RESTful APIs using Java Spring Boot, integrated internal and Salesforce-based services for seamless data flow, migrated legacy systems to AWS, and implemented monitoring, alerting, authentication, and Generative AI solutions to enhance user-facing applications.Prior to that, I worked at Bottomline Technologies, where I led development of large-scale Spark-based ETL pipelines and designed Java APIs to automate client onboarding workflows. I also gained experience building full-stack applications and chatbot solutions at Quantiphi and worked on data-driven systems during my time at TCS.My technical expertise includes Java, Scala, Python, Spring Boot, React, Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch, and cloud platforms like AWS and GCP. I’m particularly passionate about distributed systems, machine learning, and Generative AI, and recently built a production-grade RAG-based InterviewPrep AI platform.I enjoy solving real-world engineering problems through scalable and impactful technology solutions. Looking forward to connecting with fellow engineers, recruiters, and professionals in the tech community!Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or explore my work on GitHub.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heetkanani/GitHub: https://github.com/heetkanani
