Software Engineer Builds Systems
From Front-End to Cloud

Soham Limbachia, currently interning at BossPac Engineering & Technology,
studies Software Engineering at the University of Alberta

I'm a Computer Engineering (Software Option, Co-op) student who builds reliable, user-facing systems end-to-end—from clean front-end experiences to APIs, databases, and cloud deployment. I enjoy working on products where correctness and performance matter, and where the software has a clear real-world impact.

Currently, I'm a Software Developer Intern at BossPac Engineering & Technology, contributing to a real-time rail monitoring platform (BRIM): a configurable dashboard and geospatial web portal supporting operations across ~7,650 miles of track. I've worked across the stack (React, Node/Express, PostgreSQL, AWS) and helped integrate telemetry and anomaly detection workflows, including ML-assisted verification that reduced false alarms by 52%.

Previously, I interned in Process Automation & Controls at Suncor Energy, where I supported industrial control projects and built internal tools to streamline troubleshooting and improve reliability. I've also served as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Alberta (CMPUT 274), supporting 250+ students through a studio-style Python/Linux course focused on problem-solving, algorithms, and core data structures.

I'm looking for engineering teams that value thoughtful design, strong fundamentals, and fast learning—where I can ship useful features, own problems across layers, and keep improving systems through feedback and iteration.

In progress: A fitness tracker to log and analyze strength training workouts. Uses 3 points of reference for accurate tracking and analysis.

Exploration

Automation Part Picker — PLCs & Distributed Control Systems

Inspired by the popular site PCPartPicker, this project explores building a similar tool for industrial automation components. This project would allow automation engineers to verify compatibility, compare and select components for their control systems.
