Summary
Kartik Arora is an AI Engineer with eight years of software engineering experience, currently building AI systems at Wonder after a multi-year tenure on Tesla’s payments team in New York. He has deep hands-on experience shipping payment infrastructure and migration tooling—having diagnosed memory leaks, mapped external vendor errors to internal systems, and automated vendor migrations—paired with a background in performance tuning and observability (Splunk dashboards). Comfortable across backend systems and data-driven performance work, he cut his teeth at scale through internships at Microsoft, Berkeley Lab, and MakeMyTrip, and taught database systems as a TA at the University of Washington. Known for turning operational pain points into automated, test-covered solutions, he blends production-grade engineering with an interest in making systems measurably faster and more reliable.
