Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrashanth Selvam is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with 11 years of experience building data-driven, user-facing products and backend systems. He currently contributes to Uber Direct, delivering delivery-as-a-service, and previously co-founded Delightful, where he was the sole engineer shipping a full mobile app stack (React Native, Django, Snowflake) in under four months. At Simon Data he helped architect high-throughput marketing orchestration, reworked ElasticSearch to cut AWS costs by 92%, and built monitoring that reduced on-call incidents by 42%, demonstrating a focus on operational efficiency as well as feature delivery. His background spans analytics consulting and hands-on data engineering, giving him fluency across ETL, analytics stacks (DBT, BigQuery, Snowflake), and product-facing React/Django systems. Comfortable switching between startup founder scrappiness and large-product engineering, he blends strategic product thinking with deep implementation chops. An interesting throughline: he repeatedly takes ownership of end-to-end systems that unlock outsized business value—whether cutting infrastructure spend or launching a new consumer product.
