Top SchoolRayhan Hossain is a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience building scalable, high-availability distributed systems across cloud and on-prem environments. Currently leading a database product within Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB, he blends deep backend and DevOps expertise—particularly in Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB—to deliver production-ready distributed databases. His prior work at AWS includes designing ECS Service Connect, automating region build pipelines, and contributing substantive OpenTelemetry and Fluent Bit integrations that improved observability for containerized workloads. Rayhan’s background spans low-level systems (compiler/runtime work with LLVM) to big data and ML (Hadoop, Spark, scikit-learn), giving him a rare full-stack systems perspective. An active open-source contributor, he’s driven key improvements in widely used projects like the OpenTelemetry Collector and Fluent Bit, including AWS-specific receivers and CloudWatch EMF support. Practical, detail-oriented, and fluent across cloud infra to systems internals, he often bridges product engineering and operational automation to accelerate safe rollouts.
