Raounak Sharma is a Lead Software Engineer with a decade of experience designing and shipping scalable distributed systems across startups and enterprise environments. He has led architecture and teams at scale—owning high-throughput data pipelines (200k events/min), microservices managing 100k+ assets, and redesigned core services to cut API latency by over 30%. Comfortable across Rails backends, OLAP (Pinot), Redis tuning, and cloud DBaaS, he blends hands-on coding with platform reliability and DevOps improvements. He mentors engineering teams, drives hiring and culture, and applies systems-thinking inspired by "An Elegant Puzzle" to streamline delivery. Based in New Delhi with an MSc in Distributed Systems from TU Dresden, he brings both deep academic grounding and pragmatic production experience. An occasional “Rubiest,” he still finds time to ship code while leading cross-functional product and vendor integrations.
