Sr\. Engineer @ Target \| Ex SDE Intern @ OYO \| BITS Pilani \| ME Computer Science

## About

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with \~5 years of experience, where I build and operate large\-scale data pipelines that power order reporting, personalization, and experimentation across Target's digital commerce platform\. At Target, I've owned production data systems end\-to\-end — from designing ingestion pipelines and schema migrations to debugging production incidents, renewing certificates, and building observability so teams can move faster with confidence\. My day\-to\-day spans the full stack of a modern data platform — Kafka consumers, Spark jobs on Hadoop \(BigRed3\), ClickHouse ingestion, Oracle write pipelines, and the observability layer that ties it all together\. I enjoy working at the intersection of reliability, performance, and observability — building systems that are not just fast, but debuggable and trustworthy at scale\. Outside of code, I enjoy breaking down complex systems and making them understandable — whether that's writing clear documentation, doing technical discovery, or explaining trade\-offs to stakeholders\. Tech I work with regularly: Kafka · Spark · ClickHouse · Oracle · Micronaut · Kotlin · Java · Python · HDFS · Druid · Docker · Vela CI · TAP \(Kubernetes\) · Grafana Currently open to Senior Software Engineer / Staff Engineer roles — particularly in data infrastructure, streaming systems, or backend platform engineering\. 📩 Feel free to conne
