Senior🎓
Top SchoolFarooq Khan is a hands-on Principal Engineer with over 22 years of software experience and more than a decade as an architect, currently driving platform and security efforts at NetApp. He has repeatedly redesigned systems for extreme scale and performance—e.g., lifting log throughput at Symantec from 3K to 180K/sec and demonstrating VPLEX UI scale improvements into the millions—while also shrinking build times and shipping high-impact tooling. Comfortable across Java/J2EE, Golang, Python, cloud-native stacks (Kubernetes, AWS/GCP) and application security, he blends deep systems-level engineering with product-minded architecture and developer productivity work. A mentor and team builder, he founded an AI/ML startup, contributes an actively downloaded open-source JSON DB, and built an internal CVE analyzer expected to save thousands of hours annually. Currently pursuing an MS in Computer Science (Machine Learning) at Georgia Tech, he pairs rigorous academic study with practical, security-first solutions for large-scale distributed systems.
