Senior🎓
Top SchoolGaurav Nolkha is an engineering leader and founder with 15+ years building and scaling distributed systems, observability platforms, IoT/cloud services, and OS/kernel optimizations, currently leading Infrastructure Platform work for fast-moving food tech and founding BrainBox. He designs cost-effective, highly reliable architectures—multi-region active-active topologies and cloud-agnostic stacks—that support hundreds of engineers and thousands of microservices. His hands-on background spans a homegrown Rust logs datastore with ~10x perf/$ over OpenSearch, Go-based distributed queue and sharding services, and scaled OSS monitoring, alongside leading Google’s Local Home SDK used by millions. Earlier roles at Intel and in embedded/Linux kernel work underpin his ability to optimize power, performance, and edge compute for consumer devices. Equally invested in developer productivity, he’s now building AI-driven dev tools while mentoring engineers and iterating rapidly through experimental SaaS projects.
