Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBhavani Saktheeswaran is a seasoned software engineer with 13 years of experience building high-performance data systems and real-time pipelines, currently based in Mountain View. He has driven latency and query-planning optimizations at Uber (including sub-second Presto/Neutrino work and Hudi/Hive rewrites) and helped build Voldemort/Venice storage and REST layers at LinkedIn. At Moveworks and Onehouse he continued shaping data infrastructure, and his open-source contributions to projects like Apache Hudi and Voldemort show a pragmatic focus on refactors, robust REST APIs, and production-grade fixes. Comfortable across storage engines, distributed key-value systems, and query engines, he blends deep systems thinking with hands-on engineering. A less obvious strength is his attention to developer experience and maintainability—improving logging, config clarity, and lightweight integrations that materially reduce operational friction.
