Ketan Verma is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-performance, large-scale distributed systems, currently contributing to Google Spanner. His background spans search and database services at AWS (including Amazon OpenSearch Service) and meaningful open-source contributions to the OpenSearch project where he implemented data streams, task resource tracking, and a search backpressure API. He combines low-level performance tuning with pragmatic abstractions—evident from a history of reducing rendering latency by 95% and building cross-platform services in Go. As a founder of a consumer-facing startup, he also has product instincts for streaming, offline-first apps, and secure content delivery. Based in Bengaluru, he blends startup agility with enterprise-scale engineering and a track record of turning complex distributed problems into simple, reliable solutions.
