Rohan Kamath was born somewhere and then he grew up (or so they say). Along the way, he attended a fancy university where he learned about important things like student loans and insurance. He then worked for a couple of famous people named Jeff and Satya. He has been birding since he was 6 years old, but his favorite bird is still a mean Tandoori Chicken.

When he’s not writing about himself in the third person, Rohan spends most of his time outdoors hiking and birding in the Pacific Northwest with his wife Pk and his puppy Albus. Rumor has it that he builds Products at Stripe although he not-so-secretly wishes he was a chef so that he could forever feed the fat kid inside him who refuses to grow up.

He is extremely passionate about learning new things and obsessively and consistently reads books daily. He also writes on Quora where his work has been read a few times, and on LinkedIn, where people think he's bonkers. He thinks he’s sarcastic and hilarious. However, most people find him obnoxious and annoying.

Senior Software Engineer

Zeta

Part of Plutus, working on user acquisition and growth engineering.

Plutus is a strategic partnership between Zeta and one of India’s largest private sector banks with the mission to build a digital bank completely from scratch.

Stack: Java, Spring Boot, Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Kubernetes

Harness

SME on cloud cost computation in Kubernetes.
Implemented resource recommendations for right sizing of Kubernetes workloads to optimize spending.

Staff Software Engineer

Founding member of Harness Cloud Cost Management (Saas for Cloud cost optimization) team, built the product from scratch and took to GA. We help enterprises to a keep tab on infrastructure cost expenditure, giving a summarised as well as power view of the underlying data and analytics.
My work was initially owning the platform components for data collection of the required metrics and events, and later I worked primarily on computing cloud costs for Kubernetes clusters - computing costs, automatic cost attribution, mapping cost trend changes to cluster events, recommendations and optimization for applications deployed on the cluster.

Skills: Java, Mongo, Kubernetes, AWS

Visa

Worked on the initial stages of a Real Time Payments system. The areas I've worked on include
- A message transformation module for inter-transformation of messages among various formats.
- POCs in Akka for architectural decision-making regarding the tech stack.

Worked on the Visa developer platform. My primary area of ownership was implementing several features in an API gateway. 
Some of the areas I've worked on include 
- Authentication mechanisms such as JWS/JWE, client certificates, HMAC-based auth etc.
- A performance testing toolkit (built in python) for running geo-distributed load tests. Given a test plan and a yaml config, it brought up EC2 instances in different regions, executed the tests, parsed logs at different layers to extract latency metrics, correlate time taken for each request across layers and create a report. This toolkit significantly brought down the iteration time for performance improvements in the gateway.
- Optimising the gateway for different kinds of scenarios, like preventing few slow backends from affecting traffic to other faster apis, reducing latency through concurrent execution of independent steps in the request processing flow, tuning http features like persistent connections & TLS session resumption.
- Message layer encryption for end to end confidentiality & integrity of the API payload.
- Took on the role of security champion, in which I liaised between the dev team and the Cybersec team. I helped triage and root-cause the issues flagged during security code review, and penetration testing.

I worked on the Visa Developer Platform. VDP is a new initiative by Visa to present a unified facade to the different APIs provided by various teams in Visa. 
I was part of the platform team which works on API gateway and Identity and Access Management. 
My first project was around adding TLS mutual authentication to the gateway for which I was recognised with a go beyond award under the category (Excellence – Driving results, improving performance)

Software Engineer

Wooqer

The project was around optimizing the delivery of user uploaded videos in the Wooqer platform.  The platform initially used flash for video delivery. We analyzed different video formats (flash vs mp4), various encodings for video/audio and different delivery mechanisms for video. 
Developed a script to decode/encode videos that auto-detected the optimum tuning parameters that could be used for achieving the right balance between bandwidth and quality.

Platform Engineer

Experienced senior software engineer, with demonstrated history of working in the internet industry and building highly scalable backends. Skilled in Java, Python, Spring ecosystem, Kubernetes. Strong engineering professional with a Bachelors and Masters in Computer Science from Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi.
