Hi, I'm Prakhar Goel πŸ‘‹

Software Engineer | MS Computer Science (AI) @ USC

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» About Me

Software engineer with 4 years at BlackRock, building distributed backend systems, regulatory technology, and agentic AI infrastructure on the Aladdin platform.

Currently pursuing my MS in Computer Science (AI) at the University of Southern California.

I like problems that sit at the seam between large-scale systems and machine learning β€” LLM tooling that has to survive real production traffic, not just a demo.

πŸš€ Projects

Interview Reels β€” Flutter, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS S3 A short-video platform for technical interview prep. JWT-authenticated Spring Boot APIs with Redis-backed feed caching, and a Flutter client with a rule-based recommendation engine that personalizes feeds by followed creators, watch history, and popularity.

Distributed Rate Limiter β€” Java, Spring Boot, Redis, Docker Rate limiting service supporting token-bucket and sliding-window algorithms, with Redis holding shared state across horizontally scaled nodes. Uses atomic Redis operations to avoid race conditions on shared counters.

Visual Speech Recognition System β€” Deep Learning Real-time spatio-temporal encoder and descent-based decoder for lip-reading, generating speech and text transcriptions for speech-impaired users.
