Sarveshwaar SS

As an SDE Intern at Acko, Sarveshwaar SS focused on enhancing the software development lifecycle, improving system observability, and optimizing user experience within the insurance platform.

• Eliminated 100% of journey restarts for field executives by resolving stale version issues in SDUI flows, significantly enhancing productivity and user experience through real-time validation and error handling.
• Improved system observability and reduced triage time by 70% by optimizing logging strategies and integrating Firebase Crashlytics & Analytics for proactive issue detection.
• Increased user retention by 12% by successfully developing and integrating the HSRP journey within Acko's SDUI-based auto services module.
• Streamlined health insurance onboarding processes by developing the Health Profile Builder, addressing fragmented data capture through structured health flows.
• Accelerated development testing and improved local developer productivity by creating a mock login system to efficiently bypass OTP flows.

Led the organization of Technotronz, a virtual intercollegiate technical symposium, fostering technical knowledge exchange and collaboration.

• Organized 'Technotronz', a virtual intercollegiate technical symposium, facilitating a platform for technical exchange and skill development among students.

• Built a subtitle text retrieval system combining SimHash, phonetic hashing, and OpenAI embeddings to support multi-strategy search. • Implemented fast approximate search with Redis (SimHash + phonetic) and semantic fallback using pgvector in PostgreSQL. • Developed a preprocessing pipeline for text cleaning, chunking, embedding with Ada, and designed a layered fallback (SimHash → Phonetic → Embedding) for robust query recall.

• Designed and trained a CNN model for pneumonia detection from chest X-rays. • Deployed the model on AWS SageMaker for real-time, cloud-based diagnosis in low-resource settings. • Built an end-to-end pipeline enabling one-click predictions from local image upload to cloud inference.

• Automated Linux server provisioning with Ansible, removing manual setup and reducing configuration drift. • Scripted tasks for package installs, user/file management, and service control. • Improved consistency and deployment efficiency through reproducible infrastructure.

• Developed a headless file-sharing tool using Python and Bash with SSH/SCP for secure transfers. • Enabled data exchange in terminal-only or restricted environments without GUI or cloud services. • Automated uploads and downloads through scripting, ensuring seamless file access.
