Kaushal Rai is a Senior Software Engineer based in Palo Alto with ~3 years of experience building large-scale, production data and metadata systems. Currently on Rubrik’s Metadata Infrastructure team, he helps design cross-cluster synchronization frameworks that prioritize correctness, low latency, and scalability using Go, Scala, Kubernetes and CockroachDB. His background spans fintech surveillance at Goldman Sachs, telecom RCS features at Samsung R&D, and performance-oriented stream processing work at Meta, reflecting strength in both algorithmic improvement and systems engineering. Comfortable across C++, Java, Python and cloud-native stacks, he blends academic training (MS CS, UW–Madison) with hands-on experience shipping resilient pipelines and operator-fusion optimizations. A practical engineer with an eye for reducing manual work and run-time, he often focuses on measurable improvements—e.g., boosting surveillance precision and reducing pipeline runtime through operator fusion.
