Ankit Gupta is a Staff Data Engineer based in Bengaluru with a decade of hands-on experience architecting and operating large-scale data platforms across hybrid-cloud environments. He specializes in lakehouse and streaming architectures (Apache Flink, Spark, Iceberg, Kafka) and has driven platform improvements that cut costs by 50%, saving 300M+ JPY annually while enabling self-serve analytics for thousands of users. At Rakuten he led the next-generation streaming platform and metadata integration with DataHub to enable automated discovery and lineage in a Data Mesh, and built frameworks to ingest unstructured data at scale for AI/ML use cases. He pairs deep systems knowledge with practical automation—building CI/CD, resource recommender ML models, and zero-downtime migration tools—to reduce deployment time and manual tuning significantly. Colleagues know him as a technical author and open-source contributor who also brings a data-analytic curiosity—“Data Eater”—to uncover patterns that drive product and business insights.
