About Hariprashadh Sellamuthu

Engineering leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling mission-critical backend platforms in global travel ecosystems. Currently leading a core Back Office AIR domain at Amadeus, responsible for the reliability, scalability, security, and financial accuracy of high-volume transaction reconciliation systems supporting travel agency chains worldwide.I operate at the intersection of engineering execution, system architecture, and business outcomes, owning delivery for platforms processing sustained throughput of ~250 transactions per second. My role spans multi-team leadership, roadmap definition, operational excellence, and close partnership with Product, Architecture, and business stakeholders.In parallel, I play a cross-functional leadership role driving internal AI-enabled efficiency initiatives, working across engineering, product, platform, and governance stakeholders with competing priorities. I focus on aligning incentives, establishing clear operating models, and translating AI opportunities into measurable business outcomes rather than isolated experiments.My contribution spans prioritization frameworks, operating cadence, and outcome tracking, ensuring AI initiatives improve internal productivity, delivery predictability, and decision quality at scale.While not formally managing managers, I have mentored senior engineers and technical leads into people-management roles, contributing to leadership bench strength and long-term org scalability. I am deeply invested in building high-trust teams, fostering engineering rigor, and enabling leaders to operate independently at scale.I thrive in complex, regulated environments where correctness, availability, and velocity must coexist — and where engineering leadership is measured by outcomes, not activity.
