About Me

The person behind the code

Supratim Samanta

Senior Software Engineer at Capital One

Data Engineering

I've been building software for over 14 years, navigating the chaotic but exciting world of distributed systems and cloud infrastructure. My philosophy is simple: build tools that get out of the way. I believe the carefully designed solution is the kind you don't have to think about.

What I Do

Engineering

I specialize in Java, Python and Go. I love diving deep into performance optimization and system architecture.

Open Source

I'm an active contributor. You'll often find me fixing bugs or improving documentation for the tools I use daily.

Writing

I use this site to document my learnings. Writing helps me clarify my thoughts and (hopefully) help others solving similar problems.

Beyond Code

When I'm not at the keyboard, I'm likely spending time with my 7 year old boy, listening to music, watching animation or sci-fi, or trying to brew the perfect cup of coffee.
