Summary
Phool Chandra is a Senior Software Engineer with 8 years of hands-on experience building scalable data platforms and ETL systems across startups and enterprise teams. He has architected a ground-up data platform using Kafka, Debezium, Spark, and AWS to migrate 300+ tables to S3 and enable both near-real-time and batch analytics via Presto and Metabase. Known for pragmatic automation, he cut manual ETL effort by ~90% using Airflow, Kafka Connect and custom Spark jobs, and even implemented a homegrown Delta Lake-like solution in Java. His background spans stream-processing plugin development with strict delivery semantics and performance optimizations (200% JSON plugin improvement) to full-stack backend work early in his career. Based in Bengaluru and an IIT Guwahati alumnus, he blends systems-level engineering with product-facing analytics to turn messy data into reliable business insights.
