Summary
Sourabh Ketkale is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, low-latency distributed systems and data services across fintech, cloud, and enterprise SaaS. He has delivered production-grade microservices, containerized workloads and observability-driven platforms at companies like Visa, SAP, Anchorage Digital, Sunrun, and now Adobe, often reducing costs and improving reliability through pragmatic engineering. His work spans Go, Node.js/TypeScript, Kubernetes, and cloud-native services, with hands-on achievements such as an 84k$/month GCP cost reduction, sub-second telemetry APIs for 8M devices, and $140k annual infra savings by right-sizing Kubernetes nodes. Sourabh combines deep systems thinking—decomposing monoliths and tuning transactional flows—with strong operational ownership, including on-call incident resolution and SOX-compliant data pipelines. He mentors teams, drives CI/CD and testing best practices, and is comfortable moving projects from POC to production while preserving maintainability. A practical problem solver, he often uncovers non-obvious optimizations in cost, backpressure handling, and data retention that materially improve system resilience and business outcomes.
