Short Bio

I'm Rishwanth Perumandla — a Cloud Solutions Architect and Full Stack Engineer with 4+ years of experience designing scalable systems across AWS, GCP and AzureCloud. I’m a Computer Science graduate from Purdue University, USA, where I specialized in Cloud Architecture, Machine Learning, and Scalable Infrastructure Systems.

As Co-founder and Solutions Architect at Rivach, I’ve led the development of high-impact products and platforms for startups and growing businesses. At Centella, I architected an AI-driven drug discovery platform on Azure Cloud, integrating ML infrastructure and MLOps pipelines for scientific innovation. Through 20ms Studios, I dive into screenwriting, virtual cinematography, and worldbuilding using Unreal Engine.

All of these identities — builder, storyteller, and systems thinker — come together under my alter ego RIPE, where I explore the intersection of technology and emotion. Whether through scalable cloud platforms or immersive visual experiences, I’m driven by the urge to create things that resonate.
