Kartikey Pant
Senior engineer working on distributed systems and stream processing at Salesforce. Interested in real-time data infrastructure, platform reliability, and developer tooling.
CURRENTLY
At Salesforce, I work on distributed streaming infrastructure, focusing on pipeline reliability, stateful stream processing, and multi-tenant cloud platforms. Outside of day-to-day systems work, I spend time exploring emerging patterns across data platforms and infrastructure tooling.
IN SAN FRANCISCO
I'll be in SF from September 13–26 for Dreamforce and connecting with the broader tech community. If you're working on data platforms, distributed systems, or infrastructure engineering, I'd love to connect for coffee in SOMA or the Financial District.
INTERESTS & TOPICS
- Stream Processing: State backends, checkpointing overhead, and crash recovery.
- Developer Platforms: Hermetic builds, deterministic CI test harnesses, and large-scale repo migrations.
- Change Data Capture (CDC): Streaming transactional database state without dual writes.
