Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCyrus Gandevia is a software engineer with 9 years of experience focused on distributed systems, data infrastructure, and security, now on Databricks’ Caching team in San Francisco. He has driven measurable latency and cost improvements at Dropbox’s Storage Platform—cutting p99 read/write latencies, enabling zero-downtime metadata migrations projected to save $1M+/year, and rolling out encryption key rotation across 40+ petabytes. Cyrus blends production-grade engineering with research rigor from UW Waterloo (including differential privacy work) and has a knack for small, high-leverage changes—e.g., a 10-line sampling tweak that saved significant verification costs. Comfortable across cloud storage APIs, metadata services, and security integrations, he also mentors new engineers and contributes to hiring and technical onboarding.
