Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrashant Mittal is a Principal Engineer with 11 years of experience building large-scale, production-first infrastructure and observability tooling, most notably at Gojek where he helped create platforms ingesting millions of events per minute and improved deployment success rates from 65% to 90%. He combines deep SRE/DevOps expertise with Ruby on Rails product engineering, having built stream-processing frameworks, HA monitoring stacks (Cortex/Prometheus), and automated cross-cluster/stateful migrations. As an engineering manager he led a 10-person team to define SLI/SLO/error-budget practices and owned reliability for hundreds of microservices across Southeast Asia. He’s also an entrepreneur co-founding Shovel Company and now serving as Principal Engineer at realfast, reflecting a blend of hands-on systems design and product-driven leadership. Trained as an electrical engineer at IIT Jodhpur, he brings a systems-thinking approach that surfaces non-obvious optimizations—like cutting Kafka time-to-production from 40 hours to 30 minutes. Based in Bengaluru, he specializes in taking complex, risky infrastructure projects from prototype to resilient, observable operations.
