Chintan Pamnani building the future of scalable systems at Comcast

Chintan Pamnani, a software engineer at Comcast, is making a mark in the tech industry through his contributions to scalable architecture and system innovation. With prior experience at Reliance Jio, Stryker, and Red Hat, he played a crucial role in overhauling Comcast’s legacy polling system by transitioning it to an event-driven Control Plane architecture. The shift, backed by Kafka and Debezium for real-time data flow, reduced database costs by 30% and significantly boosted system responsiveness while streamlining multi-tenant onboarding.

His impact extends into the AI space, where he optimised Comcast’s voice command system by improving natural language processing algorithms. This resulted in a 15% gain in accuracy and 20% faster response times. Chintan’s previous work on recommendation systems at Jio using the ELK stack laid the foundation for his user-first approach, which he continues to apply at Comcast through innovations in automation and machine learning.

Another highlight of Chintan’s work includes deploying ML-based anomaly detection across Comcast’s data pipelines. Drawing from his automation experience at Stryker, where he used UiPath to eliminate repetitive manual tasks, he strengthened Comcast’s data validation workflows. His approach emphasises reliability, early detection of issues, and a proactive stance on system health.

Chintan is also deeply embedded in cloud-native and containerised environments, working across AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, and Kubernetes. His integration of the Great Expectations framework into PySpark pipelines brought a 20% drop in cloud storage costs and accelerated data processing by 80%. He further improved Comcast’s system monitoring using DevOps tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK—efforts that have streamlined operations and reduced downtime.

Looking forward, Chintan is keen to deepen his focus on infrastructure reliability and distributed systems. Proud of his Indian roots, he views his journey at Comcast as both a professional achievement and a personal mission. “Representing India on a global tech stage is an honour. I aim to keep pushing boundaries, inspire others, and contribute meaningfully to the future of technology,” he says.
