Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrateek Kumar is a Software Engineer II specializing in platform infrastructure and distributed systems, with nine years of experience building high-throughput, durable backend services. He holds an MS in Computer Science from the University of Colorado Boulder, where he focused on big data architecture, datacenter-scale computing, and high-performance scientific computing. At Couchbase he worked on Kubernetes operators, cross-data-center replication, consensus-based durability, and sustained synchronous loads of 100k RPS, and he diagnosed a subtle production outage tied to OpenShift PID limits. Now at EasyPost, he continues to drive scalable platform solutions while also teaching and mentoring students in user-centered design. Beyond code, he’s an avid follower of aviation and space engineering, often imagining practical applications like asteroid mining—an interest that colors his pragmatic curiosity about system-level tradeoffs.
