Sunnyvale, California, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoshal Daftari is a hands-on software engineer and engineering leader with ~4 years of recent experience at Confluent and a decade of prior work spanning systems, backend, and DevOps roles. He has led teams and technical migrations that cut costs and deployment times dramatically—examples include a 70% cost reduction moving geocoding providers and a 50% faster deployment cadence via Ansible. Comfortable across Python, Java, cloud-native stacks (Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS), and observability tooling, he combines low-level systems thinking (packet sniffing, NetFlow) with product-focused delivery like auth integrations and push-notification architectures. Joshal is obsessive about developer productivity and tooling, often experimenting with (neo)vim, tmux, shell plugins and Rust-based utilities to streamline workflows, and he mentors teams to own end-to-end reliability and monitoring. Based in Sunnyvale, he brings research-rooted analytical rigor from UCSD into pragmatic engineering solutions that prioritize automation and scalability.
