Prachiti Parkar — Software Engineer
In a nutshell, I love to BUILD — systems, tools, and ideas. Whether optimizing costly architecture in my fintech role or re-architecting critical data paths in large-scale storage systems, I’m always driven by curiosity and a desire to make things faster, more reliable, and scalable. I graduated with a Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and currently work at Nutanix on the Core Data Path team, where I focus on erasure-coded storage, replication, and fault-tolerant system design. My work spans optimizing write paths, redesigning replication policies, and enhancing metadata recovery — all to ensure data consistency and performance across distributed clusters. Previously, I gained valuable experience at Morgan Stanley, where I worked on data pipelines for the Investment Banking Division, and at SAP Labs, where I developed APIs and improved backend systems for Fieldglass (VMS). Beyond work, I love mentoring students and early-career professionals through TopMate, and I’m passionate about giving back to the community through teaching and fundraising initiatives. I’m a nerdy extrovert who enjoys deep tech chats just as much as coffee-fueled brainstorming. Feel free to reach out — always happy to connect! ☕💬
