Rahul D'costa — CEO
I’m a Lead Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling backend‑heavy, API‑driven systems. Over the last 6+ years, my focus has been on Java, Spring, and microservices, with ~90% of my work in backend engineering. I enjoy stepping back to understand the bigger picture, validating ideas through POCs, and shaping them into production‑grade solutions. Trusted to deliver — whatever I own, gets done. Core expertise: Backend & Microservices: Java (8+), Spring (Boot/Cloud), REST APIs, distributed system design Search & Messaging: Lucene, Kafka → GCP Pub/Sub Integration & Orchestration: Apache Camel Cloud: Google Cloud Platform (GCP) AI: GenAI & Agentic AI explorations and integrations Across my business unit, I’m known as a high‑ownership problem solver who takes on ambiguous issues (including production problems outside my team) and drives them to closure. As a team lead, I focus on clarity, ownership, and psychological safety—coaching juniors, avoiding pressure tactics, and cultivating a “fix the problem, not the blame” culture. I’m deeply invested in backend engineering and distributed systems, and I’m open to learning new backend technologies and languages that improve scalability, reliability, and delivery speed. I also enjoy hackathons and have been a Global Hackathon Winner—bringing cutting‑edge ideas into real systems. Outside of work: dancing, table tennis, gardening, and gaming.
