Summary
Rahul Tholakapalli is a software engineer with eight years of experience building scalable data and cloud-native systems, currently working on enterprise data engineering at Citadel. Previously at Amazon, he helped operate a device metrics platform that ingested trillions of data points daily and led a multi-month migration to a modern AWS architecture, while also designing a cross-team billing service to reduce costs. His background spans backend services, infrastructure as code (AWS CDK), performance testing, and operational excellence, with early research and FPGA experience from Georgia Tech that hints at a strong systems and algorithmic foundation. Comfortable turning complex data flows into reliable production services, he has a track record of reducing operational burden through automation and pragmatic architecture. Based in Louisville, Colorado and self-described as “globetrotting,” he combines deep technical rigor with a willingness to work across teams and environments.
