Shivani Katukota is a Senior Software Engineer based in Indianapolis with a decade-long foundation in designing distributed systems and a strong track record across high-scale companies including Block, Google, and Amazon. She’s delivered measurable performance gains—most notably a 60% improvement in a streaming data engine—and built fault-tolerant streaming pipelines and state management for Kafka-based sources. Her background spans backend systems in Java and Go, cloud-native integrations, and operational tooling that reduced on-call effort and sped up incident resolution. She pairs hands-on engineering with teaching and mentorship experience from Indiana University and early-career roles where she led UI modernization and large-data processing projects. An engineer who moves fluidly between performance optimization, security fixes, and developer productivity, she brings both deep technical rigor and a knack for translating stakeholder needs into reliable systems.
