Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVarun Sharma is a software engineer with 10 years of experience building large-scale distributed systems and real-time stream processing platforms, currently working on billing and audit logs at Databricks in Amsterdam. He has architected and owned high-throughput event and log pipelines at Booking.com that handled 700k events/sec and 1M logs/sec, introducing Kafka and a lightweight Go proxy deployed at massive scale. His background spans end-to-end streaming stacks—Kafka, Spark, Cassandra, Redis, Elasticsearch—and includes geocoding and supply-chain insights work at Flipkart and feature-driven platform work at Walmart Labs. Varun pairs deep systems-level expertise with practical SLI/SLO-driven monitoring and operational ownership, and he often mentors and onboards engineers while improving latency and reliability. A subtle strength is his track record of moving legacy in-house systems to robust, observable open-source building blocks to unlock broader reuse across organizations.
