$ whoami#

Hey, I’m Gaurav Singha Roy — a Senior Principal Engineer (Senior Staff Engineer) based in Berlin, experienced in building distributed systems with a strong focus on event-driven design and the engineering practices that make them sustainable at scale.

Since 2019, I’ve leaned into tech leadership as an Individual/Expert Contributor — helping grow engineering organisations through architectural design, scaling systems, operational excellence, and enabling the people around me to do their best work.

$ cat interests.txt#

• Distributed systems & event-driven architecture
• Site Reliability Engineering
• Functional programming
• Web semantics & databases
• Kubernetes
• Staying close to the customer and understanding the product being built
• Board games (a recent obsession that’s taken over a serious chunk of spare time)

$ cat /etc/hobbies#

Outside of work: reading, writing, cooking five nights a week, and rolling dice at the board game table.
