Arpan Nagar
Software Engineer at Tesla
Fremont, CA
I'm a Software Engineer at Tesla working on distributed systems for vehicle ordering, pricing, and configuration management. My tech stack includes Golang, Python, JavaScript, SQL, Kafka, CDC, and Elasticsearch. I'm currently leading initiatives to integrate LLM-powered enhancements into our products, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in automotive software.
Previously, I led UI modernization efforts at Oracle's Construction Intelligence Cloud, where I spearheaded the transition from legacy JSP to modern TypeScript applications. I hold a Master's in Computer Science from the University of Florida (4.0 GPA), where I specialized in AI and computer vision, and a Bachelor's from Manipal Institute of Technology.
During the pandemic, I built getmyvaccine.in, a platform that helped over 10,000 people secure COVID vaccine appointments in India. I'm fascinated by AI, distributed systems, consciousness, and quantum mechanics.
