Hi

I am Siddharth, and I am looking for full time opportunity for Software Engineer Role.

I want to share not just my past achievements but also what I’ve been working on recently as a Software Engineer at Atlan. Right from my first weekend, I jumped in, handling support tickets and quickly becoming a top performer in multiple support cycles. I showed I could meet tight deadlines by creating the company’s first 10-day connector in just 9 days. I also played a key role in speeding up our Snowflake & PowerBI workflows, cutting the runtime by 96%, which made a huge difference in our system’s efficiency.

One of my big wins was improving system observability. I used Stackdriver, Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, and Elasticsearch to enhance monitoring and alert handling, which really boosted customer satisfaction. I also optimized our data pipeline performance, achieving a 96% reduction in Snowflake & PowerBI workflow runtimes and improving Argo data pipeline orchestration, increasing SLA from 92% to 97% and cutting disruptions by 99%.

Additionally, I led the migration of Snowflake and BigQuery Miners from Spark-based Delta Lake to DuckDB’s native parquet format, slashing workflow runtime by 80% and resolving critical Out of Memory issues. I'm also building an innovative offline agent for Argo workflows, enabling standalone deployments in Docker-in-Docker environments and on-premises Kubernetes clusters.

Open Source Achievements

- Last summer, I was thrilled to be selected for Google Summer of Code 2023 at GitLab for the second consecutive year. My GSoC project focused on enhancing GitLab's Merge Request comparisons using git range-diff, making code reviews more effective and validating changes during rebasing. You can check out the project here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2023/projects/Z...

- Additionally, I was a mentee in The Linux Foundation's LFX Mentorship Spring 2023 Program, where I contributed to the Cortex Project by implementing an API to simplify data migration from Prometheus to Cortex. Details of the project can be found here: https://mentorship.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/project/184ccb3e-...

- In summer 2022, as a Google Summer of Code Student Developer at GitLab, I worked with the Gitaly team, integrating the mailmap feature into GitLab and enhancing the contributor graph feature with git-shortlog. You can explore my GSoC journey on my personal blog (https://siddharthasthana.dev/archives/) and the project here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2022/projects/ya...

My GSoC work has been highlighted in the GitHub and Git communities. Here are some links to the highlights:

GitHub Blog - Highlights from Git 2.38: https://github.blog/open-source/git/highlights-from-git-2-38... GitHub Blog - Highlights from Git 2.40: https://github.blog/open-source/git/highlights-from-git-2-40... Git Rev News - Edition 92: https://git.github.io/rev_news/2022/10/26/edition-92/

Furthermore, I have been a Core Team Member (https://about.gitlab.com/community/core-team/) for over a year and have also been recognized as a GitLab Hero (https://about.gitlab.com/community/heroes/members/). These accomplishments show my deep involvement in the open-source community and my commitment to making meaningful contributions.

Now, am I applying? With my extensive full-time experience and OSS contributions to both system internals and web development, I have a clear understanding of what goes behind the scene in a system. I am confident that I will be able to contribute significantly towards the growth of your company.
