Srikar Yaganti

I'm Srikar—a CTO/engineer hybrid who somehow ended up responsible for making both code and people work at scale.

Recently: Rewrote core robot orchestration frameworks for fulfillment systems at Unbox Robotics.

Background: CTO at Web3 startup scaling to 200+ DAOs, leading 15+ engineers building multi-chain infrastructure handling $1B+ transaction volume. Senior engineer at fintech unicorn, optimizing backends to extreme low-latency (10ms p90 latency at 3M+ daily requests). Built data platforms indexing 10+ blockchains, processing 2M+ emails daily. Infrastructure and data platform engineering at Amazon.

Expertise: Building low-latency, high-reliability systems and data platforms. Distributed systems, event-driven architectures, performance optimization. Comfortable with ambiguity and strong prioritization instincts—know when to build tactical solutions vs long-term architecture. Security-first mindset (SOC2, SLSA Level 3). Scaled engineering organizations from early to mature.

Outside work: Dad to 2 dogs, riding motorcycles, reading anthropology and psychology, keeping up with interesting science.
