Summary
Puneet Sachdeva is a results-driven software engineer with nine years of experience building large-scale, real-time notification and recommendation systems. At LinkedIn he led initiatives that made notifications AI-driven and near real-time—boosting engagement by 20%—while cutting incidents and mitigation time through robust monitoring and automated rollbacks. He has deep hands-on expertise in streaming pipelines, dual-database architectures, Kafka optimization, and Flink state management, and mentors engineers on production robustness and database trade-offs. Now at OpenAI he applies that infrastructure and data-infra experience to ChatGPT systems, bringing a member-first focus to high-throughput platforms. Beyond production engineering, he has a strong background in teaching and curriculum development, having led multiple university courses and TA programs that emphasize practical coding and AI ethics. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who pairs measurable impact with thoughtful mentorship.
