Hi, I'm Ragu — I build data platforms.
For the past 20+ years, I've been working across the stack—from full-stack systems to leading data engineering and analytics. Today, my focus is simple: rethink data platforms for an AI-first world.
I'm interested in what happens when data systems stop being passive pipelines and start becoming active, agent-driven systems—where automation, decisioning, and workflows are built into the core architecture.
Outside of work, I…
- Write about how data platforms are evolving from pipelines → AI-driven systems
- Build and experiment with agent-based workflows in real environments
- Share practical system designs, trade-offs, and patterns that actually work in production
- Create tools and prototypes that push toward simpler, faster, AI-ready architectures
