15+ years building web and mobile platforms, leading cross-functional teams, and shipping AI-driven products. Head of Frontend & Mobile Engineering at Tericsoft.
I'm Santhosh Banda — a Principal Software Engineer based in Hyderabad with over 15 years of building things that last. I don't just write code; I architect systems, grow teams, and make sure what ships today doesn't become tomorrow's technical debt.
One of the things I'm most proud of is something most people never see: I designed a set of reusable project templates and standardized frameworks that cut new project startup time by 80%. Across 20+ client engagements, that's not a metric — it's months returned to teams who could focus on solving real problems instead of rebuilding boilerplate.
I lead with both hands. On one side, I go deep — architecting real-time AI systems, distributed backends, offline-first mobile platforms, and spatial WebRTC products. On the other, I build people up — I've mentored 20+ engineers, many of whom have grown into senior contributors and team leads in their own right.
What drives me is the belief that great engineering is invisible. When architecture is solid, teams move fast, systems stay up, and products feel effortless. That's the standard I hold myself to — every project, every time.
A selection of innovation highlights — real products shipped for real impact.
Co-developed a live facial recognition system at GMR Hyderabad Logistics. Processes 20+ simultaneous CCTV streams for identity tracking, mask compliance detection, and real-time security alerts with low-latency inference.
Architected a canvas-based AI training platform automating image labeling workflows with integrated model retraining pipelines. Cut annotation cycle time by 60% — enabling the company's first commercial ML product sale.
Guided development of a spatial WebRTC ecosystem supporting proximity-based video and audio for 1000+ simultaneous users with animated avatars. Sub-100ms latency using MediaSoup and Socket.IO.
