Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMasoud Ardekani is a Staff Software Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with 13 years of experience designing and shipping distributed systems and databases, currently working on BigQuery at Google. He combines deep academic roots—a PhD focused on scalable consistency models and geo-replication—with hands-on production engineering at Uber and Samsung Research, building highly available, fault-tolerant platforms. His research led to practical insights like Non-monotonic Snapshot Isolation and genuine partial replication, which surface in his approach to minimizing synchronization and maximizing parallelism in large systems. Masoud contributes to open source projects such as CDAP, improving backend robustness and code quality in data-analytics frameworks. Colleagues rely on him for bridging rigorous distributed-systems theory with pragmatic engineering trade-offs that keep large services reliable at scale. Outside of product work he maintains a public technical presence (masoud.io) documenting the intersection of research and production systems.
