Profile: https://flows.cv/kashyap

Staff Software Engineer with 8+ years experience specializing in distributed systems and backend architecture. At Rivian, I’ve built and scaled systems across fulfillment, sales and logistics, often from the ground up, driving better UX, automate manual workflows, reduce operational waste and enabling multi-million dollar savings and revenue impact.

My work spans architecture design, hands-on development, and coordinating cross-functional efforts across engineering, product, and field operations teams. I focus on reliability, removing friction points in complex systems, and building foundations that help teams move quickly and confidently.

I’m recognized for driving 0→1 initiatives, mentoring engineers, working effectively across teams, stepping in to resolve issues beyond my immediate scope, and helping teams plan and align on the right technical direction.
