Summary
Kunal Gusain is a Software Engineer II at Microsoft with a decade of hands-on experience building backend, data, and edge infrastructure that reliably operates in resource- and network-constrained environments. He led Urban Company’s data engineering efforts as the first hire on the team, architecting high-throughput streaming pipelines, migrating 15+TB from Redshift to Snowflake, and delivering the company’s single source of truth for metrics used by 500+ daily consumers. At Microsoft he has shipped an SDK-backed lightweight messaging system for edge devices and cut CI/CD integration testing from 14 to 2 hours while working on disconnected Azure Resource Manager capabilities. Proficient across languages (C#, Python, Scala, SQL) and a broad data stack (Spark, Kafka, Debezium, Snowflake, Druid), he blends systems engineering with practical ML experience—having deployed matchmaking and fraud-detection models in production and competed on Kaggle. A lifelong learner with research experience in audio deep learning and a history of reducing developer toil, he thrives on turning complex distributed problems into maintainable, performant systems.
