# Sai Prasad Lingala > Staff Engineer · Distributed Systems · Event-Driven Platforms · Microservices at Scale Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/saiprasadlingala 14+ years in distributed systems, mostly building the financial plumbing nobody thinks about until it breaks — billing engines, event pipelines, payment platforms. At Matterport, I led the platform processing $350M+ annually. Scaled it through 4x growth. Took payment success from 85% to 97%. The kind of work that's invisible when it goes right. Outside of that, I have been deep in a problem that's bothered me for years — financial events flowing unmasked into systems, no audit trail, no way to reconstruct what happened when a billing dispute arrives at 2am. Built the infrastructure layer I wished existed: trusted event ingestion with PII masking at the boundary, immutable audit trail, full replayability. Something engineers can actually point to when someone asks "prove it." Looking for Staff / Principal roles in the Bay Area. I like hard problems with real consequences. If that sounds familiar — let's talk. ## Work Experience ### Staff Engineer @ Matterport Jan 2022 – Present | United States ### Senior Developer SAP Cloud Platform Big Data Services @ SAP Jan 2017 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area ### Senior Software Engineer @ Cognizant Jan 2015 – Jan 2017 | Greater Philadelphia Area ### Senior Software Engineer @ Capgemini Jan 2012 – Jan 2015 ### SAP CONSULTANT @ Capgemini Jan 2014 – Jan 2015 ## Education ### Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Information Technology Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/sai-prasad-lingala-64a6baa --- Source: https://flows.cv/saiprasadlingala JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/saiprasadlingala/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-12
