Summary
Prajjawal Agarwal is a software engineer with a strong foundation in distributed systems and cloud-native architectures, backed by an MS in Computer Science from Stony Brook University and a decade of industry experience. He has delivered scalable full-stack solutions at MindTickle and MarketAxess—building multi-region routing, serverless rule processors that handle 1M+ RPM, and microservice workflows that touch billions in trade value. His research work in the File Systems and Storage Lab applied orchestration patterns and cloud instrumentation to speed video transcoding and analyze workflow patterns, reflecting a blend of research rigor and production impact. Comfortable across backend, frontend, and cloud stacks, he has reduced processing and query latencies by significant margins while introducing GraphQL and resilient distributed components. Now based in New York and currently at AWS, he’s particularly interested in large-scale data processing and resilient distributed systems. Outside work, he credits music with sharpening creativity—an oft-overlooked driver of his problem-solving approach.
