Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPurushotham Santhati is a Senior Software Engineer with 5 years of experience building scalable, cloud-native systems from Bengaluru, India. He has a strong track record at startups—most notably architecting FinBox’s Sentinel no-code decision engine that cut client go-to-market time from seven months to four days and unlocked $10M in business. Proficient in AWS, Terraform, Postgres and ClickHouse, he focuses on performance and cost optimizations (e.g., cutting ClickHouse memory footprint from ~16GB to 4GB and improving analytics latency to sub-200ms). His earlier work at Hasura strengthened CLI reliability and developer UX, contributing fixes and features to a widely used open-source GraphQL engine. He combines pragmatic engineering (end-to-end testing, RBAC with Casbin, Redis-based workers) with product sensibility to deliver observable, user-friendly platforms. Collected experience across infra, backend and no-code tooling gives him a knack for turning complex decisioning workflows into maintainable, high-throughput systems.
