Prad Nelluru is a software engineer with 8 years of experience building high-performance data-flow and distributed systems, currently contributing to Google Cloud Pub/Sub and on-call production support. He previously drove efficiency and language-level features for Microsoft’s real-time data analytics platform, cutting CPU usage of a core pipeline by half to scale to millions of events per second. At Google he’s shipped Pub/Sub features like exactly-once delivery, dead-letter queues, and ordering keys, and contributed to widely used open-source Python client libraries for Google Cloud. He also has deep experience in desktop sync and real-time collaboration from Google Drive File Stream, including IPC rewrites and accessibility/i18n ownership. A UT Austin MS/BS computer science alumnus, Prad combines low-level performance tuning with API and client-library ergonomics, and routinely bridges production incident response with long-term reliability improvements.
