Summary
Udbhav Prasad is a software engineer with over a decade of experience building and scaling distributed data systems. Based in Mountain View, CA, he currently applies his breadth of infrastructure and data-store expertise at Databricks, where he focuses on scalable backend engineering. Previously, he led infrastructure at Stairwell and drove core data-protection work at Rubrik, including TLS-based backup protocols and large-scale archive formats for Oracle databases. At BloomReach, he helped deploy globally available Cassandra clusters across AWS regions and built an Elastic Data Platform to provision resources on demand, delivering cost-efficient, highly available data services. He combines a strong academic foundation (MS in CS from Carnegie Mellon, BE CS and MSc Math from BITS Pilani) with hands-on experience across cloud, storage, and distributed systems to tackle problems that become intractable at scale. Notably, his work spans multi-region Cassandra replication, serverless recovery concepts, and architecture that moves data protection and recovery toward self-service, auditable workflows.
