Summary
Nicolas Perez is a Senior Software Engineer based in Seattle with over a decade of experience designing resilient, large-scale distributed systems for cloud and big data platforms. Currently at Google, he focuses on infrastructure optimization and availability for Google Cloud, building systems that automate capacity movement and maximize SSD utilization across fleets. He brings deep polyglot expertise—Go, Python, Java/Scala, C#, F# and C++—and a strong background in functional and reactive architectures from past roles at MapR, HPE and Royal Caribbean. His work spans both cloud-native orchestration and data-platform contributions, including commit-level involvement in MapR Spark and multiple open-source connectors and tools. Known for practical engineering that balances efficiency, reliability and cost at hyperscale, he also quietly specializes in making distributed storage and VM scheduling behave predictably under constrained connectivity. He holds a BS in Computer Science and combines academic foundations with hands-on production experience across cloud, container, and big data ecosystems.
