Pankaj Agrawal is a Senior Tech Lead based in Bengaluru with six years of professional experience building and stabilizing backend systems. At Huawei he leads technical delivery and drives robustness in distributed data services, drawing on hands-on expertise in Apache HBase where he contributed bug fixes and replication/concurrency improvements to a widely used open-source bigtable implementation. He excels at solving data-handling edge cases—repairing corrupt HFiles, hardening meta table operations, and improving RPC retry behavior—to keep large-scale storage systems reliable in production. Comfortable in both code and leadership, he blends deep debugging instincts with pragmatic design choices to reduce operational risk. He holds an MCA from Rajiv Gandhi Prodyogiki Vishwavidyalaya and brings a quietly persistent focus on integrity and correctness that often prevents issues before they surface.
