Summary
Karthik Prabhakaran is a software engineer with over a decade of experience designing and delivering distributed, cloud-native systems, currently contributing as a Member of Technical Staff at PayPal. He has a strong track record at Goldman Sachs building reactive microservices, Kafka-driven ledger systems, DLQ replay handlers, and near-real-time OLTP-to-OLAP ingestion pipelines. Comfortable across the stack, he leverages Spring Boot, Reladomo, REST frameworks and NoSQL (Cassandra) to migrate monoliths to resilient microservices and implement secure authentication flows (OAuth, SAML, OOBA). Known for pragmatic system design, he also built generic frameworks—such as a domain-agnostic scheduler and error-replay module—that reduce duplication and simplify operations. Based in Bengaluru, he blends enterprise rigor with MEAN-stack familiarity from his GitHub presence, making him effective at both back-end architecture and end-to-end application delivery. His career shows a consistent focus on reliability, scalability, and operational tooling that eases production support and analytics.
