Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSourav Kunda is a Senior Software Engineer with 7 years of experience building cross-platform SDKs, developer tools, and cloud infrastructure optimizations, currently at BrowserStack. He blends performance engineering and DevOps automation to reduce costs and latency—examples include a Kafka-backed log compression system that cut S3 costs by 30% and a Jekyll pipeline overhaul that slashed docs build time from 30 minutes to under 8. Sourav has driven high-availability AWS designs, blue-green MySQL upgrades with replica promotion, and created a centralized gRPC event-driven layer to simplify multi-language client bindings. He contributed to the popular WebdriverIO project by improving test observability, accessibility stability, and performance instrumentation, reflecting a strong test-automation pedigree. Comfortable across Java, Node.js, Python, C#, and Ruby, he also solves low-level concurrency issues (Java bytecode fixes) and builds pragmatic network tooling like a custom Node.js WebSocket/SOCKS proxy. Based in Odisha, India, he pairs hands-on engineering with a focus on developer experience and measurable production impact.
