“It was my pleasure working with Balaji at Near.co. Balaji played a key role in building the infrastructure for the entire tech stack including distributed system clusters(Hadoop, Storm, Redis, Mongo, Kafka, Cassandra.. etc). His hard work and continuous support to the team was crucial in building complex and scalable data pipelines. Balaji has played a critical role in setting up the standards for server cost optimization, monitoring alerts, security, traffic metrics, job scheduling - which are very much essential for the growth of the startup. His technical/managerial skills and the desireness to learn new technologies makes him to be a key asset to any organization.”
