Sai Charan Reddy Kothakapu

About

Full-stack engineer currently at Southern Glazer’s who built and owned a real-time commercial finance expense analytics dashboard end-to-end (Next.js App Router + TypeScript), including post-launch monitoring, data quality checks, and stakeholder-driven iteration. Strong data/analytics backend experience (Postgres modeling and Databricks Delta Lake pipelines) with demonstrated performance wins—e.g., cutting a key reconciliation query from 8–12s to <400ms and improving frontend load time ~40% with a 25% bounce-rate drop at Verizon.

Key Strengths

• End-to-end ownership from stakeholder discovery through production monitoring and iteration
• Next.js App Router architecture using server components for heavy data fetching and client components for interactivity
• Post-launch operational excellence: Datadog performance monitoring, regression investigation, and optimization
• User-centric iteration via ongoing weekly feedback loops with finance stakeholders
• Designed Postgres relational model with constraints and indexing (GIN/composite/partial) for large-scale reconciliation workflow
• Reduced a Postgres reconciliation query from 8–12s to <400ms using EXPLAIN ANALYZE-driven indexing and query rewrites
• Built durable multi-stage data pipeline using Databricks Delta Lake ACID writes and idempotency for safe retries
• Measured frontend performance impact: ~40% faster page loads and 25% bounce-rate reduction (Verizon) via lazy loading/code splitting/caching
• Pragmatic architecture decisions (batch vs real-time) aligned to business needs and data volume
