Sri Baabu — CEO
💡 Senior Software Engineer | Streaming Systems Architect | Building the Async Future I’m Sri — a builder at heart and engineer by discipline. With a strong foundation in distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and real-time streaming platforms like Apache Kafka and Apache Flink, I help organizations architect scalable, production-grade systems — especially in domains where speed, reliability, and visibility are non-negotiable. Currently, I lead technical efforts at HTS (formerly KMC), delivering cutting-edge solutions in the hospitality tech space, with a focus on full-stack Kafka observability, streaming analytics, and data visibility at scale. 🔧 What I Do: Architect event-driven platforms with Kafka, Flink, Iceberg & AsyncAPI Build scalable backend systems with cloud-native tools (AWS, CDK, Terraform) Create developer-first products that simplify complex async workflows Drive cross-functional initiatives blending tech, product, and vision 🚀 What I’m Building: On the side, I'm working on "Pandya" — a Postman-like desktop app purpose-built for the async API world (Kafka, AsyncAPI, etc.). It's open-source, developer-centric, and aims to redefine how engineers interact with streaming systems. 🎯 Next: I'm on a mission to bring streaming-first thinking to the developer community, contribute to open standards, and eventually build a product-led company around async tooling. Let’s connect if you’re into event-driven architectures, real-time data, building developer platforms, or dreaming big with purpose.
