Top SchoolAritra Kar is a Software Development Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building cloud-native, database, and security-critical systems, currently contributing to Amazon Web Services’ RDS Capacity team. He has driven core SQL and query-processing features for Amazon Redshift—adding SUPER-type unnesting and a FLATTEN keyword—while rebuilding test infrastructure and shipping 50+ C++/Python tests that eased migrations for enterprise customers.
