Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKriti Kathuria is a Senior Software Engineer and database researcher with eight years of experience building data infrastructure and distributed systems, currently based in Vancouver. Her academic work at the University of Waterloo focuses on Raft, View-Stamped Replication, and a novel "Eventual Durability" model that rethinks durability to improve performance without sacrificing consistency ordering. She pairs this theory with practice—implementing read-optimized on-disk layouts in KuzuDB, contributing to etcd Raft, and building high-throughput CDC streaming and data reliability tooling at Postman. In industry roles she has delivered SLA-sensitive platforms and developer-facing features like column-level lineage and declarative frontend data layers that enable optimistic updates. She has a track record of shipping production-grade systems and open-source extensions (e.g., OpenIVM for DuckDB) that bridge cutting-edge research and real-world deployments. Expect a practitioner who translates distributed-systems theory into pragmatic, performance-focused engineering.
