Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnurag Chakraborty is a data systems researcher and software engineer with nine years of experience building high-performance backend systems, currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Waterloo and working in the Data Systems Group. His work spans academia and industry—from a technology analyst role at Goldman Sachs to a Microsoft research internship focused on optimizing RocksDB storage—bringing practical systems optimization experience to research problems. He contributes to open-source database projects like kuzu, where he implemented parser and binder support for Cypher's UNWIND clause, demonstrating deep familiarity with query processing internals. As a graduate researcher and TA, he combines rigorous academic training (Master's with 91.25/100) with hands-on mentoring and teaching. Colleagues can expect a practitioner who bridges low-level storage/query engine design and higher-level research, with a track record of shipping core changes in production-adjacent codebases. Based in Waterloo, he brings a global academic background grounded in Indian engineering education and focused on scalable data systems.
