Summary
Keyur Panchal is a software engineer with nine years of experience building low-latency, highly scalable backend and data systems, currently at TigerData working on TimescaleDB-related technologies. A recent NYU Courant MS student, he combines academic depth in distributed systems and databases with hands-on production experience from BookMyShow, where he optimized gRPC APIs to handle 400K RPM, cut data infrastructure costs by 63%, and engineered Spark ETL pipelines processing 2 TB daily. He has a strong track record in data engineering, cloud migrations, and instrumentation—delivering revenue-impacting features like a rule-based notification system and ad-targeting integrations. His teaching roles at NYU reveal an ability to explain complex systems (from assembly to big-data platforms) and mentor others, a skill he leverages in collaborative, agile teams. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, he enjoys decomposing hard problems into elegant system designs and brings a gamer’s persistence to iterative performance tuning.
