I build AI tools that write, run, and repair tests.

I'm Chaitra, a software engineer with nearly 4 years of experience in AI-powered developer tools, LLM integrations, and backend systems.

About

I own AI developer tooling end to end: the VS Code extension, the multi-provider LLM integrations behind it, and the backend services that feed it. My work reduced token consumption by up to 60% in automated test-generation workflows.

I'm experienced in AST-based code analysis, AI workflow orchestration, and CI/CD integration, with a strong focus on backend engineering and applied AI.

I'm based in Frankfurt and learning German (currently A1). Outside work I enjoy music, travel, fitness, and photography, and I explore new AI tools by building side projects, like the ones further down this page.

Testimonials

Recommendations from colleagues, copied word for word from LinkedIn.

Chaitra has a positive approach to all coding tasks and is very receptive to ideas and experimentation. Her work ethic and sincere efforts make a difference to the team. She would be an asset to any team that she decides to work with.

Harish Agrawal Vice President of Engineering, Roost.ai Managed me directly

I had the pleasure of working with Chaitra for four years, and she's one of the most reliable engineers I've collaborated with. As a Senior Member of Technical Staff, she consistently brought discipline and hard work to everything she touched.

What stood out most was her versatility — Chaitra could pick up multiple technologies and deliver quality work with minimal hand-holding. She's the kind of colleague you can hand a problem to and trust it'll be solved right, with little need for follow-up.

Any team would be lucky to have her.

Taher Mandapwala Senior Software Engineer, Cognizant Worked with me on the same team

I had the pleasure of working with Chaitra at Roost.ai, where I was senior to her. Chaitra is a truly versatile engineer who worked seamlessly across the full stack — frontend, backend, and DevOps — and consistently delivered high-quality work across all of these areas.

What stood out most to me was her sincerity and dedication. She reliably completed every task she took on, often going beyond what was asked to make sure the end result was solid. Her ability to move between different layers of the stack without losing quality or pace is rare, and it made her a dependable go-to person on the team.

Chaitra would be a valuable addition to any team looking for someone technically well-rounded and genuinely committed to doing good work. I'm happy to recommend her.
