Summary
Bhushan Mohan is a software engineer with 10 years of experience building reliable backend systems and privacy-first infrastructure, currently driving engineering at Sierra in San Jose. He led Grammarly’s privacy engineering team, architecting consent management, data de-identification pipelines, and privacy-aware GenAI infrastructure while also designing an OAuth2-based identity platform and anti-fraud systems. Earlier roles span storage and systems engineering at Pure Storage and SanDisk/WD, where he helped deliver a datacenter SSD product line, filed multiple patents, and built large-scale monitoring and analytics pipelines. Comfortable at the intersection of security, privacy, and distributed systems, he pairs deep research-rooted problem solving with practical product delivery. Not obvious from titles: he has repeatedly moved between research and production, turning low-level storage and reliability insights into billion-dollar products and company-wide privacy capabilities.
