Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPratik Agarwal is a distributed systems software engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable databases, caching, and event-driven systems across startups and hyperscale cloud teams. He drove major performance and cost optimizations at Momento and AWS—delivering up to ~40% server throughput gains, 10x client latency improvements, $2M in customer savings, and $1.2M in OpEx reduction through rearchitecture efforts. At DynamoDB he owned control plane components like autoscaling and fleet health, and later designed an eventually-consistent orchestrator for Marketplace that cut p99 view latency by 93%. Equally comfortable in low-level performance tuning and cross-functional leadership, he has a track record of landing customers, mentoring engineers, and shaping product-facing infrastructure. Now based in the Greater Seattle Area, he applies database, CDC/streaming, and API design expertise to hard distributed systems problems at Figma.
