Summary
Pedro Ramalhete is a technical lead with 13+ years of deep expertise in shared-memory concurrency and low-latency C/C++ systems, currently driving platform work at Cisco from Saint-Sulpice, Switzerland. He has designed durable, strongly consistent database engines and invented the world's first wait-free database, along with multiple novel concurrency controls, lock-free data structures and memory reclamation schemes that deliver order-of-magnitude write-intensive performance gains over RocksDB. Comfortable bridging research and production, he publishes academic work on concurrent algorithms and consistently turns innovative ideas into rigorously tested, production-quality code. His background includes a PhD in Physics and DAQ engineering at CERN, which informs a methodical, experimental approach to systems design and debugging.
