Raghupathi Thota
( Charles Schwab )
Senior technology leader with a master’s degree in computer science and 13+ years of experience designing, modernizing, and scaling enterprise-grade platforms across Healthcare, Retail, and Financial Services domains. I specialize in building high-impact, data-driven systems that operate at national and global scale, combining deep hands-on engineering expertise with platform leadership.
Throughout my career, I have led and delivered mission-critical initiatives spanning clinical care decision model, cloud data migrations, retail platform modernization, IoT and AR-based innovation, AI-enabled merchandising solutions, and financial-services API platforms. My work has supported millions of users and transactions daily, enabled large-scale cloud adoption, and powered secure external integrations for highly regulated industries.
I began my career in healthcare technology, developing production-grade clinical and care decision predictive models and later contributing to the migration of billions of healthcare records from on-premise systems to cloud platforms, laying the foundation for population health analytics and intelligence. I subsequently expanded into global retail systems, leading mainframe-to-cloud modernization efforts at Walmart, owning high-scale item and order platforms, and driving innovation through AI, IoT, AR, and smart-store technologies during periods of rapid industry change.
Most recently, I have been leading API gateway and platform initiatives in financial services, owning the secure externalization of banking, trading, retirement, crypto, tax, and advisor services through enterprise API gateways. I have played a key role in large-scale post-acquisition migrations, enabling seamless integration between major brokerage platforms while maintaining security, compliance, and high availability.
I am deeply passionate about emerging and applied technologies, particularly cloud platforms, distributed systems, APIs, AI/ML, IoT, AR, and data-driven intelligence, and how they can be combined to solve real-world problems at scale. I thrive at the intersection of architecture, execution, and innovation, taking ideas from concept to production while mentoring teams and shaping long-term platform strategy.
Driven by curiosity and impact, I am committed to building resilient, future-ready systems that unlock business value, improve user experience, and advance the responsible use of technology across industries.
