Top SchoolDerek Snyder is a senior software engineer based in San Jose with nearly two decades of professional experience and deep expertise in distributed systems, developer tools, and virtualization. He has driven infrastructure improvements at Google and LinkedIn—optimizing cluster testing, presubmit CI behavior for flaky tests, and scheduling algorithms to boost throughput while enforcing fairness. His work spans production-scale systems and open-source research: he built Floating Temple, a peer-to-peer clustered execution project that demonstrates his long-standing interest in parallelism. At Google he diagnosed a Linux kernel issue and collaborated with kernel engineers to produce a fix, showing his ability to bridge application-level tooling and low-level systems. Now at NVIDIA, he continues to apply pragmatic, data-driven engineering to complex, large-scale developer and compute platforms.
