Dilip Kunderu Team Lead RSVP Approved
Senior Software Engineer at Oracle
Senior software engineer (7+ years) delivering impact in cloud infrastructure by improving reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency across load-balancing and compute operations. Own end-to-end delivery (design → rollout → on-call), lead incident response/RCAs, and turn production signals into durable fixes, automation, and operational guardrails—improving fulfillment ~73% → ~96% under higher load, reducing degradation ~90%, and cutting infrastructure footprint ~45%. Looking to create impact in scale, load, and distributed systems.
