Summary
Karthik Ramakrishnan is a data engineer with a decade of experience building large-scale data pipelines and APIs, currently processing petabytes of transaction data at Walmart Global Tech to improve AI model tuning and shrink avoidance. He designs hierarchical Data APIs and reengineered reporting models to provide a single source of truth, cutting query and report times by over 40%. Previously at Gallup he combined backend engineering with text analytics, topic modeling and recommendation systems, and throughout his career has shipped production Airflow workflows and Spark-based ML solutions. Comfortable across the AWS ecosystem and streaming stacks (Kafka, NiFi, Storm), he pairs hands-on implementation with performance tuning and pragmatic data architecture. Based in Bellevue, WA, Karthik blends strong academic foundations in CS with a penchant for turning messy transactional data into actionable insights.
