Akhil Devarakonda — Co-Founder

🚀 Builder. Breaker. Data Whisperer. Team Leader. I don’t just build data platforms — I lead teams that ship scalable systems . As a Lead Data Engineer and startup co-founder, I’ve architected infrastructures that grow from MVP chaos to enterprise-grade calm, all while mentoring engineers, setting technical direction, and making sure we’re not just moving fast, but moving right. From Kafka pipelines with IAM-auth consumers to real-time analytics on Trino + Delta Lake, I’ve led initiatives that turned messy logs into meaningful insight — and made infra resilient enough to survive both scale and success. Some things I’ve done (and helped teams do): Built and led end-to-end data platforms on AWS (EKS, MSK, Glue, RDS, S3) , Databricks Designed and optimized batch + streaming pipelines for massive clickstream data Led cross-functional efforts across product, engineering, and analytics to make data useful, not just available Mentored junior engineers into confident system owners and on-call warriors Integrated AI workflows where it actually makes a difference My leadership style? Empower, unblock, and raise the bar. Whether I’m debugging a flaky job or aligning the roadmap with founders, I bring clarity, pace, and a bias for ownership. 📍 Bangalore-based ☕️ Fueled by filter coffee, jazz, and distributed systems 💬 Let’s chat if you’re building something ambitious — or want to swap war stories
