Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJay Ravisankar is a software engineering manager with 11 years of experience building high-scale database and storage systems, currently leading Compute and Storage for Amazon RDS at AWS. He has a strong track record shipping large-scale features—sub-millisecond io2 block express, Encryption-at-Rest, Dedicated Log Volumes, storage auto-scaling, and an industry-first Storage Shrink that reclaimed 13+ PiB for customers. Jay blends deep SQL and performance-tuning expertise (demonstrated earlier at Oracle and Cognizant) with hands-on distributed systems and availability work that helped push RDS toward four-nines SLAs for Multi-AZ deployments. He holds an MS in Software Engineering from Carnegie Mellon and regularly bridges product and platform concerns to deliver low-latency, cost-efficient storage innovations. Colleagues describe him as a builder who scales both systems and teams—having led 10+ engineers and orchestrated a storage migration affecting 50,000+ customer workflows without disruption. Beyond cloud storage, his background includes significant SQL internals work and training others on database best practices, a less obvious strength that informs his architecture decisions.
