Kush Chopra | Software Engineer

Firmware to full-stack to AI agents. I build across the whole stack.

I'm a software engineer who has shipped production code at every layer — infrastructure and AI tooling at T-Mobile, embedded systems at Eaton & full-stack web platforms at SkillUp Online. Now growing into senior scope: owning systems end-to-end and multiplying the engineers around me.

How I work

own_it:

End-to-end ownership

I take problems from ambiguous ask to running system — design, build, ship, and the on-call that follows. No throwing things over the wall.

multiply:

Make the team faster

The best code I write is the code others don't have to. Automation, tooling, and clear docs that turn one engineer's week into the whole team's.

go_deeper:

Always learning the next layer

From registers to React to agent architectures — I move toward what I don't know yet. Currently going deep on AI systems and distributed design.
