Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPraveen Ramakrishnan is a systems-focused software engineer with 11 years of experience building low-level infrastructure, storage and networking components, currently working at Facebook in New York. He brings deep expertise in OS/kernel programming, file systems, storage and networking, backed by an MS from Carnegie Mellon and research work with leading storage researchers on shingled disk systems. His open-source contributions include fixes and build improvements to Facebook’s high-profile proxygen C++ HTTP library and DevOps automation for Magma, showing a rare blend of kernel-level thinking and practical deployment automation. Comfortable across C++ systems code, build systems, Docker/Ansible-based deployment and logging pipelines, he repeatedly turns research-grade ideas into production-ready tooling. Notably, he has implemented storage prototypes (B-tree local filesystem with SSD caching) and production network features (GTP/MBMS) earlier in his career, reflecting both research depth and carrier-grade engineering.
