Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolParth Gandhi is a Software Development Engineer II with eight years of experience building and optimizing large-scale distributed data systems at AWS, focused today on Spark SQL performance within EMR. He has deep hands-on experience across cloud storage and compute—having worked on S3 infrastructure and now on Spark/Trino performance tuning—and brings a strong foundation in JVM-based backend systems from earlier roles. An active Apache contributor, Parth has authored numerous Spark fixes and enhancements (from scheduler deadlock fixes to UI and YARN improvements) and is also an Apache Trino contributor at AWS, reflecting a commitment to open-source performance engineering. He holds a Master's in Computer Systems Engineering from UMass Amherst and combines production-grade optimization skills with practical product and infrastructure experience.
