Summary
Kaustubh Katkar is a pragmatic software engineer with 8 years of experience building high-performance storage and cloud-native systems, currently an SDE II at Amazon after driving storage virtualization and microservices at DataCore and product-facing e-commerce work at Shopify. He combines deep OS, networking and multi-threading knowledge with full-stack skills—Java Spring microservices, React/Redux UIs, and AWS infrastructure—to deliver measurable performance gains (e.g., 80% faster storage workflows and 40% query speedups). His master's from the University of Florida and a Machine Learning Engineer certificate reflect a strong algorithms and distributed-systems foundation, while early startup experience in solar energy and web stacks shaped his product instincts. Known for shipping testable, modular code and automating CI/CD, he also brings practical driver- and debugging-level expertise that bridges application and systems layers.
