About Instructor

Hey! I am Arpit Bhayani, a passionate CS engineer who loves to explore engineering in depth. In my last ~9 years of experience, I have worked at D. E. Shaw, Practo, Amazon, and Unacademy; and have built systems, services, and platforms that scaled to billions.

In 2018, I joined Unacademy as their first Technical Architect and there I designed, built, managed, and scaled services like Search, Notification, Logging, Deployment Engine, and many more. I am currently operating as a Director of Engineering leading the Site Reliability and Data Engineering verticals.
