Summary
Pushkar Pandey is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience designing and delivering highly scalable Java and Python APIs and distributed systems, currently at Walmart Global Tech in Sunnyvale. He specializes in backend microservices, data processing, and system integrations using Spring Boot, Django, AWS, Kafka, and NoSQL stores like MongoDB and DynamoDB. Pushkar has a proven track record of improving performance at scale—most notably a 4x speedup migrating batch processing from Athena/S3 to MongoDB and architecting coupon and notification services that handle hundreds of thousands of daily requests. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs strong algorithmic foundations from his CS education with practical cloud-native engineering to solve real-world problems. He also brings hands-on experience in ML tooling and acceleration (TensorFlow, Keras, OpenCV, Spark) and has worked on FPGA-offloading research, reflecting a curiosity for performance optimization beyond typical backend work. Based in Silicon Valley, he blends deep technical depth with a passion for elegant, efficient solutions that keep him exploring new approaches.
