Anagh Hegde

I’m a Staff distributed systems engineer with 8+ years of backend experience designing and operating high-throughput services—up to 100k+ QPS—across login, sync, provision, and authorization flows. I’ve built resilient, low-latency systems that support 100Million+ users.

At Okta, I’m currently building large-scale integrations platforms with a strong background in authn/authz protocols. I’ve optimized directory synchronisation for high-scale tenants (10Million+ users) by shipping delta-sync improvements that reduced latency and downstream API load.

I also architected and shipped integrations that bridge on-premise Active Directory with cloud-native identity flows (Entra ID/Okta), directly impacting $1M+ in ARR and expanding opportunities in regulated markets. I’ve improved import pipelines by reducing import time 4x using parallel calls, batching, and exponential backoffs to handle Azure rate limiting.

Previously, I reduced new customer onboarding from 3-6 months to 1-3 days by leading a MongoDB to PostgreSQL migration, and I improved reliability by introducing robust transaction infrastructure that reduced corrupt application states by 99%. I take pride in delivering measurable outcomes—performance, reliability, and developer enablement—through careful system design and strong execution.
