Karthik Krishnamurthy is a seasoned software engineer based in Sunnyvale with over a decade of experience building high-performance infrastructure and distributed systems. Currently at Meta working on ZippyDB, he brings deep expertise in storage, replication and low-level systems gained from prior roles where he architected production-grade agents, rewrote critical monitoring hooks, and implemented no-downtime features for hierarchical databases. As AppDynamics’ founding engineer for its Linux agent, he combined systems programming in C/C++ with Go to deliver scalable observability and synthetic monitoring platforms. He has a track record of reshaping legacy codebases—rewriting browser hooks and large Java repos—and shipping pragmatic, maintainable solutions under real-world constraints. Comfortable across languages and OSes, Karthik pairs strong implementation skills with a knack for uncovering and fixing subtle operational problems in distributed environments.
