AI & Backend Systems Neuromorphic Computing Cloud Platforms

I build intelligent systems from simulation to production.

I’m Gaurav Sushant Cherukuri, an AI-focused software engineer, research assistant, and M.Sc. student at Technische Universität Dresden. I develop system-level neuromorphic simulations alongside production APIs, agentic AI workflows, retrieval systems, and cloud-native products.

The Story

I like building systems where intelligence meets execution.

What excites me most is taking something ambitious, an AI workflow, a backend platform, a product idea, and shaping it into something structured, performant, and ready for real users.

I’ve worked across research labs, internships, freelance projects, and product teams, which taught me how to move from experimentation to production with confidence. I’m currently pursuing an M.Sc. in Computational Modeling and Simulation at Technische Universität Dresden, where I’m deepening my interest in scientific computing, edge intelligence, and performance-aware systems. As a research assistant, I’m now developing a C++ gem5 model of the SpiNNaker3 neuromorphic architecture and validating its processing, memory, accelerator, and communication behavior.

Why This Journey Matters

Each step added a different layer to how I build.

Research taught me rigor. Security taught me reliability. Data engineering taught me systems thinking. Product work taught me how to build for people, not just for technical correctness. Today, those layers come together in the AI and software systems I build.

Journey

How the path evolved.

01

Started with curiosity

I began by exploring data science, machine learning, and the fundamentals of software systems, building a strong base in how intelligent systems are trained, evaluated, and applied.

02

Learned through real environments

Internships in cybersecurity, research, and data engineering pushed me beyond theory and into performance, reliability, large-scale workflows, and production constraints.

03

Moved into product building

That foundation naturally led me into full-stack and backend work, where I could combine intelligent features, APIs, cloud deployment, and user-facing experiences into complete products.

Highlights

Capabilities I bring from idea to production.

AI-powered product development

I build intelligent features with LLM workflows, document understanding, and automated data pipelines, always with a strong focus on usability, reliability, and real product value.

Full-stack, backend, and cloud systems

From responsive frontend interfaces to scalable APIs and cloud deployment, I work across the stack to deliver systems that are cleanly built, easy to operate, and ready to grow.

Data and platform thinking

I approach systems with a platform mindset, combining ETL workflows, structured data design, analytics, and performance-aware engineering to support long-term scalability.

Experience

The chapters where that story became real work.

Across each role, I kept moving closer to the kind of work I enjoy most: building intelligent, scalable products that connect strong engineering with practical outcomes.
