Top SchoolEsha Maharishi is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in robotic arm applications with 12 years of experience building distributed systems and robotics product features. Currently at Viam in New York, she has progressed from product and solutions roles into senior engineering leadership, blending hardware, motion control, and SLAM expertise. Previously she led sharding and serverless engineering at MongoDB, contributing upstream to the widely used mongodb/mongo project on complex sharding behaviors and cluster cursor semantics. She brings a rare combination of low-level backend systems work and hands-on robotic systems design, enabling end-to-end ownership from database scaling to motion execution. Columba-educated in computer science, Esha pairs production-grade engineering discipline with product sensibility, often translating research ideas into shipped features. A detail-oriented tinkerer, she has a track record of simplifying complex distributed behaviors into maintainable code and robust product behavior.
