Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolManu Hegde is a pragmatic full‑stack software engineer with ~10 years of experience building and scaling data‑driven products across startups and enterprise teams, currently pursuing an MS in Computer Science at the University of Washington and working on ADAS at Rivian. He has led end‑to‑end projects—from petabyte‑scale data platforms and MLOps pipelines at Udaan to e‑signing microservices at Tekion—delivering measurable improvements in performance, cost, and uptime. Manu is comfortable across the stack and infrastructure: Kubernetes, CI/CD, AWS, databases, JVM and Python microservices, and React/React Native UIs, and has repeatedly reduced latency and deployment times through pragmatic re‑architecture. Notably, his research work cut deployment turnaround by over 90% and trimmed Python service latencies by ~29%, reflecting a knack for identifying high‑impact optimizations. Equally at ease as a sole contributor, IC, or team lead, he blends hands‑on engineering with product sensibility to turn complex requirements into reliable, production systems.
