Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKaran Khanna is a polyglot software engineer with 10 years of experience building cloud-native, distributed systems and high-throughput platforms across companies like eBay, Twitter, Netflix, and Coupang. He has led architecture and migration efforts—from re-architecting legacy Python services and shipping anti-fraud, event-driven platforms to designing Kubernetes-based security control planes and resilient ETCD customizations. Comfortable across Java/Spring, Go, JVM tuning, NoSQL (Mongo, Redis, Couchbase) and observability stacks (Prometheus/Grafana/Thanos), he blends hands-on coding with operational ownership to deliver SLA-driven services at scale. At eBay he drove performance and reliability improvements that cut error rates dramatically and enabled 100K/sec data pipelines; at Twitter he moved into management while remaining technical. A traveler and software enthusiast, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a knack for end-to-end delivery and cross-functional initiatives like CICD and multi-datacenter deployments. Now based in the United States, he focuses on emerging cloud technologies and distributed systems engineering.
