Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKunal Nawale is a founder-CEO and seasoned software architect with 11+ years building high-scale observability and storage systems, currently leading SigLens to deliver a log management platform that cuts observability costs by ~90% while dramatically improving query speed. He previously led observability architecture at Salesforce, scaling metrics from 60M to 700M datapoints/min and increasing dimensionality support by orders of magnitude, work that earned him a President’s Award. Kunal’s background spans petabyte-scale storage, distributed systems, and real-time data pipelines across companies from Akamai to DataRobot, where he repeatedly delivered large performance gains and resilient architectures. At SigLens he fused those lessons into a custom observability database with innovations like dynamic columnar compression, micro-indexing, and agile aggregation trees to achieve massive storage and query-efficiency wins. Based in Nashua, NH, he combines deep systems engineering with pragmatic product leadership and VC-backed startup scale-up experience. An understated detail: many of his performance wins come from designing tiny, high-impact indexing and compression primitives that let teams keep full-fidelity data instead of sacrificing retention.
