Parth Rainchwar
Software Engineer & Research Enthusiast
I build systems and study people. The work sits where backend engineering meets behavioral research, usually around data and decision-making.
About
I work on systems that run under real constraints: scale, ambiguity, and time. Most of my engineering has been in financial services where the cost of getting it wrong is visible.
My experience spans backend engineering and product consulting, building and maintaining things in production for global institutions and private banks.
On the research side I study behavioral patterns — how people decide, consume, and respond to systems. That work led to published papers and shapes how I build.

TraceAI
A research tool that maps what you know as a graph rather than a document. Concepts, hypotheses, evidence, and issues all connect. Every AI response is grounded in what's already in the graph, so it can't drift.
