Summary
Kavi Sarna is a Senior Software Engineer focused on data platforms, currently at Rokt and pursuing a Master's at Carnegie Mellon University to build AI-powered systems that improve user experiences. With 6–7 years of hands-on experience across data engineering, low-code platforms, and blockchain integrations, he has delivered scalable ETL and IPaaS solutions that accelerate time-to-market by 10x. He migrated a low-code platform from a single database to a polyglot architecture supporting seven databases and three cloud storage providers, and built connectors for Kafka and cloud storage to enable real-time pipelines. Earlier work includes high-throughput Spark/Kafka ELT systems for near-real-time payroll adjustments and smart-contract engineering with SDKs across Java, Python, and Ruby. Based in New York, he blends practical product-focused engineering with systems-level architecture and a knack for making complex integrations accessible to end users. Not obvious from titles alone: he’s repeatedly turned platform-level features into developer-facing APIs and SDKs that broaden adoption and reduce integration friction.
