Ankit Patnaik is a senior software engineer with a decade of experience building scalable, secure distributed systems in high-throughput environments. He has driven production features at LinkedIn protecting edge traffic at 2M QPS and previously helped build an on-demand scheduling plane at Microsoft that handles billions of requests per month. His background spans networking and cloud-facing products from Viasat’s Community WiFi and Databus to M365 core infrastructure, with strong skills in Java, C++, data structures, and algorithms. Based in Sunnyvale, he combines hands-on implementation with pragmatic engineering practices to deliver reliable systems at scale. Outside core work he brings a developer’s curiosity—evident from sustaining roles across startups and hyperscale platforms—and a knack for translating complex distributed requirements into operational services.
