Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSumitra Saksham is a software engineer with eight years of experience and a four-year focus on microservices and scalable product development across Consumer Internet, SaaS, and EV domains. Currently at Google, she has designed end-to-end telemetry and real-time streaming systems—previously architecting vehicle telemetry pipelines using EMQX, Kafka, and time-series databases to deliver OLTP and OLAP insights. Equally comfortable across the stack, she contributes to open-source (notably Flutter front-end and GraphQL backend work for the Talawa community app) and has shipped production-grade authentication, pagination, and UI improvements. Her background in petroleum engineering and supply-chain analytics gives her a data-driven, systems-oriented approach to building resilient services. Colleagues describe her as a pragmatic full-stack developer who combines product empathy with low-level systems thinking—and who also identifies as an artist in her spare time.
