Miami-Fort Lauderdale Area United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMukund Sharma is a Senior Software Engineer based in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area with a strong track record in runtime performance, garbage collection, and reliability engineering across Microsoft’s .NET runtime and performance tooling. With roughly four years of focused experience at Microsoft and earlier quantitative/engineering roles in finance and trading systems, he blends low-level systems expertise with applied data science and performance diagnostics. He has contributed notable fixes and optimizations to high-profile open-source projects like dotnet/runtime and PerfView—addressing GC internals, memory regressions, and real-time GC metrics. Mukund’s background in computational finance and large-scale data pipelines gives him a rare perspective on latency-sensitive, memory-constrained systems. Currently working on AI diagnostics and agentic site reliability workflows, he’s comfortable translating deep technical insights into tooling that improves observability and operational resilience. An understated strength is his history of coupling algorithmic rigor with practical engineering—whether in GC internals or trading-system simulators.

Mar 2022 - Jan 2023
.NET is a cross-platform runtime for cloud, mobile, desktop, and IoT apps.
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:96 reviews, 11 commits, 60 PRs in 9 months
Contributions summary:Mukund primarily focused on fixing and optimizing the .NET runtime's garbage collection (GC) features, specifically addressing issues related to memory allocation, heap management, and concurrency. Their contributions involved modifying core GC code, including adjustments to retry mechanisms, hard heap limits, and segment allocation. They also implemented and refined features related to CPU affinity and GC configuration, demonstrating a strong understanding of the runtime's internal workings and performance optimization techniques. The user’s contributions included adding new GC API methods and addressing a memory usage regression by fixing a typo.
