Top SchoolBasava Kolagani is a systems-focused software engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable, high-performance infrastructure and DevOps tooling. Currently pursuing an MS in Computer Science at UW–Madison and working at Yugabyte, he has hands-on experience optimizing distributed systems—implementing async Raft log persistence to cut p99 write latencies and enabling faster remote bootstraps. At IBM he revamped CI pipelines, engineered secret-detection tooling, and led efforts around code search and support automation, demonstrating a blend of performance optimization and developer-experience improvements. A strong academic foundation from IIT Kharagpur and practical research experience at Adobe in NLP-driven style analysis give him both theoretical depth and applied curiosity.
