Seniorš
Top SchoolPrashanth Mohan is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with 15 years' experience designing high-impact resource management and performance optimization systems, currently leading cross-continental teams for Google Cloud Platform from Sydney. He has a track record of improving fleet and storage efficiencyādriving 30%+ unit-cost reductions and measurable disk utilization gains through architecture convergence and capacity planning. A product-minded engineer, he founded and led an Area 120 startup, rebuilt core storage serving and backup systems, and consistently bridges research-grade rigor (PhD-level work in data security and systems) with production-first delivery. Known for influencing both engineers and leaders, he blends systems modeling, supply-demand matching, and SRE practices to solve large-scale operational problems. Not obvious from titles alone: his early research built citizen-sourced sensing platforms and production network simulators that informed Google's SDN control plane work, reflecting a long-standing focus on practical, measurable system behavior.
