Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmit Bakshi is a senior engineering leader with 14+ years building real-time, performance-sensitive systems and production infrastructure for games and large-scale services, now leading Tools and Infrastructure at Activision Blizzard from San Jose. He combines low-level C/C++ expertise for embedded and console engines with GPU acceleration (CUDA) and practical ops experience—designing CI/CD, PXE bare-metal provisioning, and automation for hundreds of servers. His background spans game engines, real-time vision at 1080p/60Hz with sub-5-frame latency, and high-throughput storage/virtualization work at Fusion-io, showing a rare mix of graphics, systems, and backend skills. A pragmatic architect who has also contributed to notable open-source work (fixes and enhancements to the goamz AWS library), he’s equally comfortable authoring build pipelines and tuning colocation datacenters as optimizing rendering and vision algorithms.
