Senior🎓
Top SchoolPankaj Thakur is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building large-scale distributed systems and data platforms, currently contributing to Zalando from Berlin. He brings deep expertise in Scala, Java, and Python and a strong hands-on background with Akka, Kafka, Storm, and big data stacks like Hadoop/HBase/Hive, paired with NoSQL systems such as Cassandra and Elasticsearch. His career spans product and engineering roles at Agoda, Flipkart and Wynk, where he focused on high-throughput queuing architectures and cloud-native solutions on AWS. Comfortable with both backend architecture and developer tooling (Maven, SBT, Jenkins, Git), he repeatedly delivers resilient, observable services in production. Trained at IIT Madras (M.Tech.), he combines academic rigor with pragmatic engineering—often favoring lightweight, reproducible tooling (LaTeX/Markdown) and a coder’s discipline summed up by his pithy GitHub motto: “Eat, sleep, code.”
