Top SchoolArham Ahmed is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable cloud and distributed systems, currently working in Sunnyvale and contributing to Azure IoT at Microsoft while holding roles at LinkedIn. He brings deep practical expertise from internships and full-time work across top tech companies (Amazon, Google, Shopify) focused on performance optimization, sharding, ad allocation algorithms, and CI/build infrastructure. Arham's background in computer engineering from University of Waterloo and an MCS from UIUC underpins a strong foundation in algorithmic problem solving applied to real-world, high-throughput services. Notably, he devised a genetic-algorithm SAT solver for ad allocation and implemented sharding and async IO improvements that materially boosted throughput and reduced operational cost. Comfortable across backend systems, storage, and automation, he combines research-minded design docs with pragmatic production engineering. Colleagues would describe him as an engineer who turns complex constraints into efficient, reliable solutions while continuously optimizing for performance.
