Raguvind Tharanitharan is a Data Engineering and Analytics leader with 20+ years of experience building production data systems across banking, digital marketing, and high-growth startups. He leads the full data function at Pray.com — from platform architecture and pipelines to analytics powering customer-facing products — and stays close enough to the code to understand the trade-offs being made in production. His current focus is AI-native data systems: platforms that evolve from passive pipelines into active, agent-driven architectures. Parrat, his open-source AI agent for diagnosing data pipeline failures, came out of that work.
