Forward Deployed Engineer · Automation Technical Lead
I live in Sacramento. I led forward-deployed engineering at HuLoop Automation, where my team and I worked directly with 35+ customers across banking, credit unions, legal services and utilities. What I enjoy most is taking a customer's hardest operational problem from the first conversation to a system that runs reliably in production. I have a B.S. in Computer Science from San Francisco State University and an M.S. in Engineering Management from Westcliff University.
I'm open to forward deployed engineering roles, remote in the US or in the Sacramento area. Email me at mitul.savani1@gmail.com.
Focus: forward deployment, solution architecture, process automation, intelligent document processing, production operations, engineering leadership, and customer and executive communication.
Systems I've automated work inside: SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Jack Henry SilverLake, Fiserv Premier and CSI NuPoint.
Things I worked on at HuLoop:
- Being close to the problem. I led each engagement from discovery to deployment, working with the client's teams and business analysts. I architected each process as its own agent, got it through the customer's security review, supported it live after go-live, and presented the ROI to the client's executives.
- Production, not demos. At a regional bank, I moved 4 deposit operations processes from manual review to unattended agents: mobile deposit review, merchant remote deposits, duplicate-check investigation and high-dollar transfer-limit approvals. They covered about 1,200 mobile checks a week and 4,500 merchant deposits a month, with risky items still routed to a person. As trust grew, the bank raised the per-check auto-approval limit from $5,000 to $25,000.
- Configuration over code. I rebuilt a failing C# pipeline (100,000+ documents a week) into a configuration-driven platform that served 4 clients from one deployment.
- Working around the platform. When the platform couldn't handle a legal-collections client's logic natively, I built a Python and VBA engine that processed 12,000+ records in about 84 seconds at 99.6% accuracy.
- Migrations. I built a Python conversion engine that moved 18+ Nintex automation scripts onto HuLoop, so clients could switch without rebuilding each workflow by hand.
- Turnarounds. I turned around at-risk client accounts with a recovery plan and a timeline. One client went from failing runs to recovered in about 2 weeks, then expanded its automations.
- Field to product. An SAP proof of concept became a paid SOW. At the client security team's request, I changed our agent to run without admin rights, and that change shipped to every client. I also wrote 22 product requirements to cut our builders' debugging and testing time.
- People. I helped grow our engineering team from 7 to 24, and managed and mentored 12+ engineers across the US and India, with the goal that each of them could own a customer end to end.
Work
- HuLoop Automation, Automation Technical Lead (2024 – 2026). Forward-deployed automation delivery for 35+ customers across banking, credit unions, legal services and utilities, where I managed 12+ engineers on about 50 automation projects.
- AgreeYa Solutions, Mobile Developer (2020 – 2025). Led mobile delivery for 5 public-sector clients with four engineers and a QA engineer. For South Coast AQMD, I owned three enhancement phases of the native iOS and Android air-quality and fire advisory apps over three years, from module architecture and requirements through deployment. I architected and led Flutter citizen apps for the Town of Morrisville (parks, real-time bus stops and notifications) and the Town of Marana (a lost-pet finder), a private staff directory for Stanislaus County, and a member app with 10+ modules, including a learning management system and a business directory, for Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network. I also led CEMA, an internal Flutter platform of plug-and-play city modules, and partnered with DevOps on a CI framework that sped up testing and releasing Flutter, Ionic and native apps to the App Store and Google Play. AgreeYa was later acquired by Computacenter.
