Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrudhvi Dhulipalla is a Staff Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 12+ years building large-scale distributed systems across platform engineering, database infrastructure, reliability, and observability. He has led cross-organizational initiatives at Block that cut Aurora costs by $2M+/year, reduced database onboarding from days to minutes with a self-service DB-ops platform, and delivered multi-region disaster recovery and archival services (one of which he open-sourced). Comfortable across AWS and GCP, he has modernized metrics and streaming pipelines—migrating legacy datacenter event streams to GCS/BigQuery and replacing proprietary metrics with an open-source observability stack. A hands-on technical lead and mentor, he drives infrastructure-as-code adoption, design reviews, and zero-downtime operational upgrades for critical services like Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Redis. His background includes extracting monolithic billing systems into scalable microservices at Zendesk and early work at Goldman Sachs, showing a consistent pattern of reducing operational risk while enabling rapid product velocity. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, he pairs deep systems expertise with a track record of measurable business impact.
