About

Let me introduce myself.

Hello, I'm Sumit Jha, a Software Engineer based in New Delhi, India. I hold a Master's in Computer Applications and have spent the last several years building production software across the stack — from AI-driven medical imaging applications and secure enterprise systems to open-source developer tools. I'm currently a Software Engineer II at OpenTeams. Before that, at PiHex Labs / Python AI Solutions, I built full-stack applications with FastAPI, Next.js, and TypeScript, contributed to open-source projects like NiiVue, and managed cloud infrastructure with OpenTofu/Terraform on AWS. I care about clean architecture, solid developer experience, and shipping reliable software. I'm an active open-source contributor — to projects including NiiVue, SymPy, Panel, Nebari, and jupyterlab-conda-store — and I gave a lightning talk at PyCon India 2024 on Panel, Python's powerful data-exploration and web-app framework. Outside of work, my hobbies include playing and watching cricket, along with web series and documentaries.

Work Experience

Software Engineer II

Mar 2026 - Present

OpenTeams
Remote · Austin, Texas, United States

Working as a Software Engineer II, building and maintaining software at OpenTeams. More details coming soon.

Software Engineer

Dec 2024 - Mar 2026

PiHex Labs / Python AI Solutions
Remote · Dublin, Ireland

Built an AI-driven medical imaging web application ("Agentic Cervical Screener") for real-time cervical cytology analysis, combining a FastAPI backend and a TypeScript/Vite frontend. Integrated a YOLO-based deep learning model for classification with an interactive NiiVue WebGL viewer for slide navigation and overlayed results.
Contributed extensively to NiiVue (open-source WebGL2 neuroimaging viewer): developed a reusable UI component kit (controls for brightness, contrast, slice navigation, toggles) and implemented a unified canvas overlay system to improve rendering performance and fix layering issues (PRs 1334, 1356).
Architected a secure scheduling web app for a research facility with enterprise SSO via Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), replacing legacy LDAP authentication. Built robust CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions with automated testing) and containerized deployment (Docker Compose), with modular configuration management (Pydantic) for reliability and scalability.
Implemented Infrastructure-as-Code (OpenTofu/Terraform) to manage AWS cloud infrastructure (bastion host, site-to-site VPN, Kubernetes cluster), enabling repeatable deployments and a smooth migration of multiple websites from legacy hosting.
Developed internal tools including the corporate website (pythonaisolutions.com — Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, MDX with Framer Motion) and "Project Foundry" (a monorepo for project specs with standardized templates), enhancing the company's web presence and streamlining project planning.
Worked with structured datasets in Python, performing data cleaning & transformation to support analysis & visualization.
