Daksh Dua

Hi, my name is Daksh (pronounced duck-shh) and I'm from central New Jersey. I'm currently a software engineer at Clockwork Systems, building next-generation GPU data center and networking technologies.

I'm passionate about all levels of the stack, from next-gen networking to web development. If you're interested in learning more about my experience or want to chat about any of these topics, feel free to email me or connect on Linkedin.


Recent Experience

I'm currently working on a platform to monitor network infrastructure for distributed AI/ML training, so that users can quickly debug issues with their cluster or workloads. Outside of this project, I've worked on the redesign and modernization of the product's UI, productionizing the clock synchronization product, and building various product demos shown at sales and conferences. You can check out more about what we're working on at our website.
In Summer 2021, I interned at Amazon as a Software Development Engineer on the Treasure Truck team. My project was focused on test automation—I developed a Java Coral microservice to help manage the accounts for Treasure Truck test customers. I became familiar with AWS technologies that I utilized heavily throughout my project, including AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, Identity and Access Management, CloudFormation, Virtual Private Cloud, CloudWatch, and Pipelines. I presented the results of my project to the entire Amazon Softlines department, which was a very fulfilling experience!
I decided to develop a Python script that changes the color of the lights in my room to match the album art of the song that I'm playing on Spotify. It was a great way to get more familiar with Python and Spotify's API, and it's also a lot of fun to use! You can find the code here.
This project is the very website that you are reading. I wanted to familiarize myself with mobile-first responsive web design, which is what led me to design this webpage! I used HTML, CSS and Javascript, along with Bootstrap.
I built an electronic voting platform using Node.js and PostgreSQL for the student Senate of College Councils at UT Austin for a faster and more efficient alternative to roll-call votes. This project became particularly important when our meetings were moved online due to COVID-19 and is currently being used at biweekly General Assemblies. Check out the results from the last one right here.
For my CNS Inventors summer fellowship, I worked on a project to bring an autonomous fleet of robots onto UT's campus to deliver food and other goods. This project became more important as COVID-19 worsened, as robot delivery systems reduce human-to-human contact significantly. Check out more at smads.netlify.app.
