Senior🎓
Top SchoolPraneet Soni is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building high-performance systems at LinkedIn, Apple, and Qualcomm, and a Master’s in Computer Science from Penn State focused on operating and distributed systems. He specializes in C++ and C#, and has driven measurable performance gains—most notably a 10%+ QPS improvement and latency reduction in a distributed graph database that translated to significant hardware cost savings. His work spans query optimization, cost-estimation for planners, and tooling/infrastructure, reflecting a deep interest in runtime-aware, efficient software design. Comfortable moving between low-level validation of hardware/firmware and large-scale distributed software, he brings a pragmatic researcher’s attention to detail from academic projects through production systems. Based in Sunnyvale, he’s now channeling that expertise into a stealth AI startup, combining systems-level rigor with product-facing impact.
