Summary
Neha Kunjal is a software engineer with nine years of experience building scalable backend systems, currently on LinkedIn’s stream processing team while completing a master's in CS at Stanford. She previously improved LinkedIn Learning ingestion throughput from 100 QPS to 20k QPS and hardened publish tracking to eliminate double-counting, demonstrating a knack for performance tuning and reliable data pipelines. Her toolkit spans Java, Python, Kafka, RocksDB, Samza/Beam, Couchbase and distributed system design, with hands-on experience integrating access control and SFTP reliability improvements. Beyond production engineering, Neha has deep teaching experience across Stanford and UC Berkeley courses—covering algorithms, ML theory, networking and cryptography—which sharpens her ability to communicate complex technical ideas. She combines academic rigor with product-focused execution and a clear interest in applying technology for social impact. An uncommon strength is her consistent involvement in both curriculum development and high-throughput production systems, linking pedagogy with practical engineering.
