Keshav Peswani
Senior Software Engineer, Expedia Group

Keshav Peswani is a senior software engineer at Expedia Group, focusing on technology and innovation on various platform initiatives. Keshav is involved in building neural network-based anomaly detection models as part of Expedia’s adaptive alerting system, an open source project for anomaly detection. He’s also a core contributor of the open source project Haystack from Expedia for distributed tracing, a software that facilitates detection and remediation of problems in service-oriented architecture. Previously, he was at the D. E. Shaw group, and since then has worked on several projects based on deep learning, particularly recurrent neural networks, monolithic systems, distributed systems, and big data processing. Keshav is a fast learner and passionate about deep learning and event-driven architecture. He’s spoken about Haystack in Open Source India, Asia’s largest open source conference and has talked about Haystack in Open Source For You (OSFY).

Sessions

2:05pm–2:45pm Wednesday, September 25, 2019

Location: 1A 06/07

Real-time anomaly detection on observability data using neural networks

Data Science, Machine Learning, & AI

Secondary topics: Deep Learning, Temporal data and time-series analytics, Transportation and Logistics

Keshav Peswani (Expedia Group), Ashish Aggarwal (Expedia Group)

Observability is the key in modern architecture to quickly detect and repair problems in microservices. Modern observability platforms have evolved beyond simple application logs and include distributed tracing systems like Zipkin and Haystack. Keshav Peswani and Ashish Aggarwal explore how combining them with real-time, intelligent alerting mechanisms helps in the automated detection of problems. Read more.
