About Speaker

As an engineer with a passion for coding, problem-solving, and continuous learning, I bring a unique perspective to the open-source community. With experience as a Core Engineer at Aklivity, an Open Source Contributor for The Apache Software Foundation, and a Senior Software Engineer at Walmart Global Tech India, I have a diverse background in building APIs for Data-in-Motion and designing real-time platforms that enhance the customer experience.

During my tenure at Walmart, I successfully implemented innovative solutions such as a generic interface for promotion use cases and benchmarking for a real-time platform, resulting in improved efficiency and cost savings. At Cloudera, I held roles as a Senior Product Specialist and Senior Customer Operations Engineer, gaining expertise in Apache YARN, Apache Kafka, and troubleshooting complex issues. With an educational background in both software engineering and psychology, I possess a well-rounded skill set that allows me to approach problems from multiple perspectives.
