About Sai Chittoor

As a Software Development Engineer, I leverage my expertise to build and optimize high-impact systems. Currently, I contribute to the Android Platform team at Meta via HCLTech, focusing on system-level performance debugging and optimization. My work involves analyzing and resolving performance issues related to CPU, memory, and backend integration using JavaScript and full-stack development skills. In parallel, I am the founder of Saillo, an AI listener application designed as a secure, private space for emotional wellness. It provides users with an empathetic AI companion for journaling, mood tracking, and finding clarity without judgment. Saillo represents my passion for creating innovative, scalable software solutions that meet a genuine human need. Prior to my current roles, At Discover, I built and maintained technology for key business areas, including payment systems, customer applications, and data analytics. This work was focused on creating reliable, scalable, and secure software solutions for a high-volume, regulated environment. I worked as a Web Application Engineer at Cognizant, where I led a significant migration from PCF to OpenShift, enhancing system reliability by 40% and reducing infrastructure costs by 20%. I also engineered a distributed storage solution using iSCSI, ensuring seamless data backup for 500+ clients and reducing data loss incidents by 40%. I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of South Florida and a Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Sri Indu College Of Engineering & Technology.
