Top SchoolGav Verma is a Member of Technical Staff with 12 years of experience building platforms from 0 to 1 and scaling them to production at massive scale, now based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He led Uber’s API and Fares platforms as a Principal Engineer, driving multi-year roadmaps, developer experience, and eight-figure business outcomes while unifying stacks and gateway layers for internal and external APIs. Earlier roles at Zynga involved designing highly available Go services serving over a billion queries a day and deep experience with DynamoDB and caching systems. Gav combines hands-on systems design, API strategy, and platform-level ownership with a background in game tooling and research from Georgia Tech, reflecting an engineer who moves fluidly between low-level performance optimizations and large-scale platform strategy. An early open-source modder and lifelong tinkerer, he brings both product-minded pragmatism and a track record of shipping resilient infrastructure.
