Chandra Bandla

I’m a Principal Engineer and Enterprise Architect with 20+ years of experience building, integrating, and modernizing enterprise software and distributed systems. I’ve spent most of my career being hands-on with technology—from architecture and system design to backend and frontend development, APIs, integrations, databases, DevOps, cloud and edge technologies, performance, deployments, and production support. I enjoy understanding complex systems and business problems, working through technical challenges, and turning ideas into practical, scalable solutions. My core background includes Java, Spring Boot, REST/SOAP APIs, microservices, distributed systems, React, JavaScript/TypeScript, enterprise integration, application modernization, cloud, and edge technologies. I’m also actively working with Generative AI and AI engineering, with a particular interest in LLMs, RAG, MCP, Agentic AI, AI agents, tool calling, context engineering, and AI-assisted development. I’m particularly interested in applying these technologies to real software and enterprise environments by connecting AI with APIs, applications, data, and engineering workflows. I enjoy working closely with technical and business teams to understand problems, design solutions, and see them through implementation. That hands-on approach is also what interests me about Forward Deployed Engineering and building AI-powered solutions for real-world use cases.
