Senior🎓
Top SchoolJae Kim is a founder and software engineer with a decade of deep expertise in distributed systems and high-performance transactional databases, currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He led performance improvements for Aurora MySQL at AWS—implementing a binlog I/O cache that quintupled replication throughput and driving enhancements to physical replication and DDL handling. Earlier work includes building low-level InnoDB log tooling at Huawei and contributing advanced query processing, window functions, and a 2M+ events/sec streaming engine at Altibase. A self-taught, analytical engineer comfortable bridging research and production, he pairs hands-on systems development with product-minded leadership. Unusually, his background spans both academic PhD-level study and practical, shipping work across startup and hyperscale environments.
