Hey, I am Arpit

entrepreneur, educator, and tinkerer

Arpit Bhayani

I am a software engineer passionate about System Architecture, Language Internals, Distributed Datastores, and Advanced Algorithms. In 2024, I took the leap of faith and co-founded Profile.fyi, where I am operating as the CTO taking care of all things tech.

Before co-founding Profile.fyi, I was a Staff Engineer at Google leading the Dataproc India team in providing managed big data ecosystem to GCP customers. I hold 10+ years of experience in building and scaling backend services across domains and companies like Unacademy, Amazon, Practo, and D. E. Shaw.

Post my masters in CSE from IIIT Hyderabad I joined D. E. Shaw for a short stint of 2 months, before moving to Practo and working there as a Platform Engineer, building and owning close to 8 different microservices. Post Practo I worked at Amazon on their primary mission-critical internal E-Commerce Database and built Data Pipelines that cold tiered the stale data.

After quitting Amazon in 2018, I joined Unacademy as their first Technical Architect and there I designed, built, managed, and scaled services like Data Lake, Search, Notification, Logging, Deployment Engine, and many more. I then transitioned into the leadership role and operated as a Director of Engineering and led the Site Reliability and Data Engineering verticals.

I keep diving deep into engineering details and share my learnings by across my socials and videos on YouTube. To put my learning to practice, I keep building things on the side and a few of my good hobby projects include

  • DiceDB - a re-implementation of Redis in Go
  • Revine - a visual programming language for kids
