Kumar Mapanip Saheb Sahoo — Software Engineer

I’m a passionate Software Engineer (SDE II) with extensive experience building robust distributed systems and scalable backend infrastructure. Currently at Observe.AI, I specialize in designing high-performance microservices using Go, Java, and Python, managing large-scale data pipelines with Kafka, and optimising cloud data workflows on platforms like AWS and Snowflake. My recent highlights include developing a cross-platform Snowflake client in Java and Python to dynamically route database queries, significantly reducing customer onboarding times and enhancing observability. Previously, as a Member of Technical Staff (MTS II) at Nutanix, I led complex infrastructure initiatives involving Kubernetes, Docker, Istio, ArgoCD, Vault, and Temporal. I spearheaded the migration from AWS RDS databases to a highly available on-premises PostgreSQL cluster managed by CloudNativePG (CNPG). Additionally, I implemented secure, automated credential management solutions using HashiCorp Vault, and streamlined deployment processes via custom Helm chart automation—achieving substantial improvements in developer productivity and operational efficiency. My early career at Publicis Sapient involved full-stack development using Java, Spring Boot, React, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and AWS, delivering end-to-end web and mobile applications. I hold a dual B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering from NIT Rourkela. I thrive in collaborative environments, regularly contributing to open-source communities, competitive coding, and internal knowledge-sharing initiatives. I'm always keen to solve challenging problems at the intersection of backend engineering, data infrastructure, and cloud-native technologies. I began my career at Publicis Sapient as a full‑stack engineer (Java · Spring Boot · React · PostgreSQL · MongoDB · AWS), delivering web and mobile solutions and championing CI/CD and automated testing in Jenkins. I hold a dual B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering from NIT Rourkela and actively contribute to open‑source, competitive coding communities, and knowledge‑sharing initiatives. I’m passionate about solving complex backend challenges, optimizing system performance at scale, and continuously learning new technologies in the cloud and data space.
