Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKarthik Nedunchezhiyan is a pragmatic full-stack engineer and Junior SDET with eight years of hands-on experience building and operating high-scale distributed systems. He has shipped production services and DevOps automation at Zoho that managed hundreds of production servers and half a million microVMs, and contributed to the Firecracker microVM project by improving its jailer, API socket handling, and build/release robustness. Currently pursuing an MS in Computer Science at Clemson, he blends research-grade portability work on clinical decision-support tools with practical skills in Go, Rust, Java, Python, React, Kubernetes, and Docker. Known for reducing operational overhead (e.g., a 31% backend processing improvement and 18% network traffic reduction) and mentoring teammates, he brings a strong systems-and-security mindset to testing and reliability. Based in Marietta, GA, he’s equally comfortable writing low-level orchestration code or building user-facing dashboards that tighten access control.
