About Me

Tika Khanna

Hello! My name is Avantika Khanna, though I go by Tika.

I'm a Site Reliability Engineer based in Munich, Germany. When I'm not working on making planet-scale distributed systems more reliable and scalable, you can find me in a teashop with my nose in a history book!

Passions

System Design

System Design

I like to think about the building blocks behind a product - how I can make it work reliably for users at scale while optimizing the resources used to do so.

History

History

I am a HUGE history nerd and if I hear that someone has even a slight interest in medieval history, I will bombard them with all the facts I know.

Analytics

Analytics

Whether it's for monitoring Production issues, or understanding user interactions, I enjoy piecing together narratives from data.

Drawing

Drawing

I've been drawing since I can remember, but although I'm nowhere near talented, I'm still trying to develop and improve my style!
