Arjun L. — CTO
I have 12 years of experience in managing high-performance teams and designing, developing, and maintaining high-scale systems that handle millions of requests per second. I have a strong background in Distributed Systems, System Design, Software Architecture, Technical Architecture, High-level design, Low-level design, and Performance optimization. I am proficient in multiple programming languages and frameworks, such as Java, C#, Python, Node.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Spring, React, Vue.js, and more. I have extensive knowledge and experience in working with various messaging and data platforms, such as Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, Amazon SQS, ElasticSearch, MySQL, Cassandra, Amazon DynamoDB, Aerospike, Redis, and more. I am also skilled in using various monitoring and tracing tools, such as Datadog and LightStep, to ensure the reliability and availability of the systems I build. In addition to my technical skills, I am also passionate about mentoring and leading other engineers, conducting code reviews, and managing resources effectively. I have successfully led and delivered multiple projects across different domains and teams, collaborating with stakeholders, product managers, designers, and engineers. I enjoy solving complex and challenging problems, learning new technologies and best practices, and sharing my knowledge and experience with others. I am always looking for new opportunities to grow and contribute to the software engineering community. Some of my notable achievements include: - Co-founded my own EdTech company, mentoring 15+ engineers, acquiring 200+ schools as customers, and positively impacting the education sector. Had a diverse tech stack comprising Java, Python, Node, React, React Native, MySQL, MongoDB (NoSQL), ElasticSearch and Apache Kafka - Wrote a programming language from scratch. - Implementing a Java-based on-heap cache from scratch in Amazon DynamoDB, and optimizing the cache to achieve a 99.4% cache hit ratio with minimal memory footprint, analyzing the GC profile of the application. This cache was used for the Consistent Auth feature in Amazon DynamoDB and because of this cache, this feature had a P50 latency of only 7 microseconds. - Making a drone that can be used to spray pesticides as a side project, demonstrating my love for making drones and robotics, and applying my engineering skills to a real-world problem.
