About Radhakrishnan Iyer

Lead Engineer | 12+ Years | Distributed Systems & AI-Augmented DevelopmentI am a Lead Engineer specializing in building low-latency, high-scale distributed systems for mission-critical products. With over 12 years of experience, I bridge the gap between rigorous engineering and the rapid innovation required in high-growth product environments.I am a power user of AI-assisted coding, utilizing Cursor and Claude Code to drive a high-velocity SDLC. By combining agentic development workflows with my background in Java/Spring Boot, I build resilient, performant software at an accelerated pace without compromising on architectural integrity.Strategic Impact:• Product Platforms: Designed and scaled high-throughput A/B testing frameworks to enable data-driven experimentation and safe feature rollouts at scale.• Mission-Critical Systems: Expert in high-concurrency architectures, including Order Management Systems (OMS) and real-time event-driven microservices.• AI-Native Workflow: Leveraging Cursor and Claude Code for rapid prototyping, complex refactoring, and autonomous problem-solving.• Data & Infrastructure: Proficient in AWS, Kubernetes, and messaging (Solace, RabbitMQ), alongside distributed data processing with Apache Spark and Airflow.• Observability: Focused on building \"self-healing\" systems using Elastic Stack and Splunk for deep production visibility.I thrive on solving complex engineering challenges where performance, scalability, and precision are the primary product differentiators.Core Expertise:Distributed Systems | AI-Assisted Coding (Cursor, Claude Code)| Product Experimentation (A/B Testing)| Java | Microservices | System Design | AWS | Event-Driven Architecture | FIX Protocol | Apache Spark | Observability
