Hello, I'm

Suchith Sridhar

Software Engineer at Stripe on the ML Foundations team. University Medal graduate with production experience in ML, distributed systems, and full-stack development. I build things that work — cleanly, reliably, at scale.

Focus Areas

Where I spend my time and deliver the most value.

Machine Learning

applied

From transformers to applied classifiers. I prefer measurable results over hype, and build models from first principles to understand them deeply.

  • Implemented GPT-style transformer architecture from scratch
  • ML-based classification for network intrusion detection (research)
  • Built auto-diff engine inspired by PyTorch using computation graphs
PyTorch Transformers Python Numpy

Software Engineering

full-stack

Production-first mindset. I own features from spec to deployment, write clean Go and Python, and care about observability and reliability.

  • Shipped production features at Introhive (enterprise CRM, Agile)
  • Self-hosted multi-server site used by hundreds of students
  • Full-stack freelance builds with custom admin and booking systems
Go Python JavaScript WebSockets

Systems & Algorithms

low-level

C, C++, Go, and OS internals. I build schedulers, data structures, and solvers from scratch because understanding the foundation matters.

  • Genomic indexing with Bloom filters, BWT, and k-mers (research paper)
  • CPU scheduling simulator and Simplex LP solver
  • Rebuilt Git from scratch in Java with commits, branches, and merges
C/C++ Java Go Linux

Cloud & Infrastructure

infra

Comfortable owning the whole deployment stack. I use AWS and Terraform to build reproducible, observable environments — not just code.

  • AWS VPC network simulations for IDS dataset generation
  • Terraform-managed infrastructure for repeatable test environments
  • Linux server admin, Docker, self-hosted services
AWS Terraform Docker Bash 
git clone git@github.com:suchithsridhar/suchicodes.git
python train.py --model transformer --epochs 50
terraform apply -auto-approve
go build -o server ./backend/...
pytest tests/ -v --cov
All checks pass — ready to ship

"Suchith was easily among the top 1% of students I taught in my 22 years at Dalhousie, and he was unique among them. He combines being good at math and algorithms, an excellent programmer, highly motivated and independent, with demonstrated excellence across a broad area of topics. He is passionate about theory of algorithms just as much as machine learning — always looking for the core of the problem, the bigger take-away that leads to real understanding."

Dr. Norbert Zeh

Professor, Dalhousie University

"He stands out as one of the most intelligent and capable students I have encountered. Suchith also exhibited outstanding algorithmic and programming skills, comfortably designing and implementing complex neural network architectures. His level of knowledge and technical skill is on par with that of a strong PhD student. I would gladly welcome the opportunity to work with him again, including offering him a PhD fellowship."

Dr. Hassan Sajjad

Associate Professor in AI, Dalhousie University

"Suchith is an outstanding student in the Faculty of Computer Science. He has been consistently A+ across virtually all courses, demonstrating exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills. His research on ML-based intrusion detection shows both technical depth and real-world impact. I strongly recommend Suchith for any programming or research position — his future supervisors will find his performance consistently impressive."
