Raghu Gollapudi is a Senior Database Reliability Engineer specializing in autonomous resilience and AI-driven reliability for high-scale financial systems. For more than a decade, he has supported major U.S. institutions including Fiserv, AAA, Wells Fargo, and General Electric where the platforms he maintains collectively process billions of dollars in daily transactions.
His expertise spans the full Oracle ecosystem, including RAC, ASM, Data Guard, RMAN, GoldenGate, OEM, WebLogic, and Exadata. He has engineered high-availability architectures up to 200 TB, executed cross-platform and cross-version migrations with near-zero downtime, and led stability initiatives for 24/7 real-time payment systems.
Raghu’s core strength is predictive reliability engineering identifying early signals of instability long before they escalate. He applies deep telemetry analysis, AWR/ASH diagnostics, and performance-engineering techniques to prevent failures across mission-critical financial workloads.
He is experienced in designing self-healing automation, improving recovery speed, eliminating single points of failure, and ensuring data consistency across distributed systems. His work has reduced incident frequency, improved transaction latency, and strengthened the reliability of national-level payment operations.
Beyond on-premise systems, he has built secure, fault-tolerant AWS architectures leveraging EC2, RDS, VPC, S3, IAM, and CloudWatch guiding enterprises through cloud adoption while maintaining stringent resiliency standards.
Raghu holds a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology and a Master’s degree in Computer Science.
His work combines deep database engineering with modern automation and AI-driven resilience positioning him at the forefront of financial-infrastructure reliability.
