About

Arjun Mahishi is a highly skilled software engineer with a passion for building SRE platforms and tools. Currently, he is working at last9, where he is responsible for developing and maintaining their SRE platform and tools. Arjun is a Gopher and an open-source maintainer with over 4 years of relevant experience in the industry. Arjun has previously worked as a Product Engineer at clarisights and as an SDE-2 at exotel. At exotel, he revamped the call recording pipeline by introducing a new "highly configurable" Go service that retired 4 other microservices and reduced multiple hops in the pipeline. This helped in shipping the call recordings much faster to S3 and hence to customers. Arjun also developed a new micro-service to make telephone servers agnostic of AWS accounts they connect to, which increased the on-prem server's call handling capacity by almost 2x. He also created pipelines in Jenkins to automate complex workflows like Sanity checks and Multiple sequential deployments, which brought down the time it took for a migration activity from ~1hour down to 7-8min. Arjun has a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology from SRM University and a Science degree from Delhi Public School - Bangalore. He is proficient in a wide range of technologies, including Javascript, PHP, Microservices, AWS, NodeJS, Python, ReactJS, Ruby, Golang, and Jenkins. Apart from his work in the tech industry, Arjun is also a closet musician. With his diverse skills and experience, Arjun is an asset to any organization looking to build and maintain robust SRE platforms and tools.
