Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrakhar Agarwal is a backend-focused software engineer with 9 years of experience building high-performance, cloud-native systems, currently driving platform improvements at Cisco. He has a proven track record of performance tuning and developer productivity—delivering a 100x query speedup in service discovery and cutting dev-test cycles from 60 minutes to 60 seconds by building local Kubernetes tooling. His technical palette spans Java, Go, Kafka, Postgres/TimescaleDB, Kubernetes and WASM, and he’s shipped time-series event platforms and scale-testing tools that simulate large fleets. An active open-source contributor and program participant (SoB, GSoC, LFX), he has applied those skills to mobile wallets, in-browser infra tooling, and crash-resilient autosave systems, often solving the low-level interoperability challenges others avoid. Based in Bengaluru and an IIT BHU alumnus, he seeks backend roles focused on large-scale, impactful systems.
