About Me

Nice to meet you! My name's Sahith Bodla and I'm a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign pursuing a combined Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Computer Science with a Minor in Economics.

I'm very passionate about exploring cutting-edge advancements in AI/ML, full-stack development, cloud networks, and system infrastructure. I thrive on tackling diverse challenges in the software realm and am always eager to expand my knowledge both in and out of the classroom!

Outside of academics and coding, I enjoy drumming, swimming, bodybuilding, watching NBA and NFL games, playing the piano, listening to music, and traveling (the picture on the right is at Hoover Dam!).

Amazon: Software Development Engineer Intern

May 2025 - Aug 2025

Developed an internal web tool for Buy with Prime's on-call engineers to streamline root cause analysis of system failures and operational alerts. Integrated multiple AWS services and internal APIs to aggregate real-time order and return data, enabling comprehensive cross-service timeline visualization. Built with a Vue.js frontend and Lambda backend (Java/CDK with TypeScript), the tool improved incident resolution speed and provided actionable insights into fulfillment, merchant, and consumer interactions. Also worked on a GenAI-powered timeline summarizer using Amazon's internal MCP architecture to highlight anomalies and critical severities.

CS 222 Software Design Lab: Course Assistant

Jan 2024 - Dec 2024

Advised groups of students on semester-long coding project in language of their choice.

As a software design course assistant, I gain practical expertise, leadership, and strong communication skills while mastering the various frameworks, languages, and developer tools needed for mentoring, scheduling, and grading group-work. This experience not only enhances my technical proficiency but also prepares me for industry challenges by fostering a collaborative environment and honing my problem-solving abilities. It helps me become a better programmer by providing real-world scenarios where I can apply my knowledge, adapt to new technologies, and effectively communicate complex concepts to others.
