Top SchoolKaran Kapoor is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in finance tech, procurement, catalog management and seller/brand experiences at high-growth marketplaces like Zepto and Grab. He designs and scales complex distributed systems with a strong focus on database internals—actively exploring PostgreSQL, MongoDB, ScyllaDB and ClickHouse—and has delivered sub-200ms invoice retrievals from 700M+ rows and archival strategies that cut costs. At Zepto he led large cross-team migrations off a monolith, built central platforms like Prism and Athena, and drove org-wide cost and stability initiatives that saved roughly $240k per year. He pairs hands-on engineering (low-latency data pipelines, CI/CD for agentic AI workflows, zero-downtime MongoDB migrations) with people leadership, having led dozens of teams and 500+ tech initiatives. An avid writer and researcher, he publishes technical blogs and maintains an active GitHub and Google Scholar profile, reflecting a blend of production impact and curiosity-driven exploration.
