Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRahul Arora is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-throughput, resilient backend systems in India, currently at Uber. He specializes in distributed systems and storage-heavy architectures, with deep hands-on expertise in Java/Python microservices, RocksDB, HBase, Solr/Elasticsearch, Kafka, Redis and Aerospike. Rahul has led teams and delivered performance-critical features at scale—reducing search latencies, designing a RocksDB-based local cache and a high-performance feature store that handled tens of thousands of RPS on single machines. At PhonePe he drove cross-sell initiatives, re-architected RabbitMQ sharding to prevent consumer overload, and boosted developer productivity with tooling such as an IntelliJ hot-swap plugin. He combines low-level performance tuning (JFR analysis, custom replication layers) with product-focused system design, often building frameworks and infra from scratch to solve recurring problems. Based in Karnataka, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a track record of turning legacy systems into scalable, maintainable platforms.
