Igor Demura is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience designing high-performance distributed systems, databases, storage, caching, and search technologies. Currently at Snowflake, he works on the DB engine, drawing on prior roles at Facebook (where he built a memory- and flash-optimized cache engine for TAO and optimized Presto pipelines), ThoughtSpot, Google, Yandex, and SPB Software. He has a strong track record of squeezing latency and resource use—authoring extremely low-memory flash storage, admission policies, and synchronous recovery—and has driven large-scale migrations and continuous performance testing to save tens of thousands of CPU days. Comfortable across the stack from mobile OpenGL ES rendering to distributed SQL engines, Igor blends rigorous academic training in mathematics and computer science with pragmatic, production-first engineering. Colleagues know him for inventions that favor throughput and efficiency, and for shipping durable systems tuned to diverse hardware constraints.
