Summary
Karthik Prabhu is a pragmatic software engineer with nearly a decade of experience building and optimizing data pipelines, real-time bidding systems, and scalable backend services across startups and large tech firms. He has driven significant performance and cost improvements—rewriting Spark jobs to boost throughput by ~60%, migrating pipelines from AWS to GCP while halving runtimes, and cutting operating costs and SLAs by up to 75% through pragmatic re-architecture. Comfortable across Python, Spark, Django, React and Kubernetes, he bridges backend systems, data engineering and client-facing features to deliver end-to-end solutions. Based in Bengaluru, he combines hands-on implementation with monitoring and tooling initiatives that shrink debugging cycles from hours to minutes—an indicator of his focus on developer productivity as much as raw system performance.
