Sravanthi Kondoju
Data Platform Engineering Lead at Target
Data and platform engineering leader with 17+ years in enterprise data infrastructure, leading data platform engineering at Target since 2018 with accountability for platform strategy, design and reliability. Her earlier roles span Macy's, Oracle, FedEx and ADP, and she speaks regularly on observability and resilient data architecture as well as mentoring on ADPList.
Key arguments & positions
- Speaks on observability and monitoring as a first-class part of a data platform, not an add-on.
- Designs for resilience — architecture patterns that keep working when parts of the system fail.
- Works across hybrid cloud and on-premises big-data migration rather than assuming a clean cloud build.
- From her conference talk: analytics, retrieval-augmented generation and AI agents each demand different things from the same data platform.
Accomplishments

- 17+ years in enterprise data infrastructure, including Macy's, Oracle, FedEx and ADP.
