Data & AI Engineer

AWS Certified Data Engineer – Associate

Hi, I'm Koutilya.
I build real-time data systems.

I architect real-time data platforms that turn event streams into decisions — at scale, with sub-second latency.

01 — About

Engineering data that moves at the speed of the business.

I'm a Data & AI Engineer focused on the systems that sit between raw events and real decisions: change-data-capture pipelines, streaming transforms, open lakehouses, and the ML and retrieval layers that ride on top of them.

Over 3 years in enterprise data engineering at Cognizant, I've built and operated production data platforms, and I hold an M.S. Computer Science from University of South Florida — the systems and ML foundations behind the architectures I ship.

The work below is hands-on: event-driven lakehouses, multi-agent intelligence platforms, real-time fraud and observability systems — built end to end, from ingestion to serving.
