Kamal Kunjapur — Software Engineer

I am a Staff Engineer with over ~14 years of experience managing large-scale event driven distributed systems at Walmart and Dell. While my core expertise lies in backend architecture and data observability, I am currently expanding my focus into the Generative AI and ML space. I am actively exploring frameworks like LangGraph to understand how agentic workflows can be integrated into enterprise ecosystems to drive meaningful operational efficiency. My career has been defined by managing complex data lifecycles and high-concurrency applications. Walmart (5.9 Years): Currently driving Forward Logistics Operations via Order Management Systems (OMS) for fulfillment, customer communications, invoicing, and refunds. Previously, I spent five years optimizing and scaling the foundational observability stack for Reverse Logistics. I significantly enhanced real-time alerting, critical reporting, and fraud-analysis dashboards, effectively bridging the gap between engineering logs and business-critical insights. Dell EMC: Managed global enterprise search and content processing solutions using Elasticsearch (ELK), Hadoop, and Spring REST. Technical Core & Community I specialize inJava, Spring Boot, Kafka, and Apache Spark, with experience in modern data stores like ELK, Azure Cosmos DB, BigQuery, and Apache Pinot. Beyond my day-to-day work, I've had been contributor to the tech community. You can see my history of solving complex problems in the ELK ecosystem on Stack Overflow. https://stackoverflow.com/users/3838328/kamal-kunjapur

Currently, I am focused on the intersection of Generative AI and Engineering Operations, specifically leveraging frameworks like LangGraph to build intelligent, agentic workflows that drive operational efficiency. My goal is to integrate LLM orchestration into enterprise-scale systems to automate complex decision-making and streamline logistics. I am now exploring how AI Agents (LangGraph) can autonomously resolve 'stuck orders' or anomalies within this E2E flow without human intervention.
