Rean Griffith is a Distinguished Engineer and advisor with 16 years of experience solving hard problems across resource management, operating systems, distributed algorithms and ML-driven analytics. Based in Oakland, he has led high-impact engineering efforts from UC Berkeley research to senior roles at VMware, Illumio and as Head of Analytics at Banyan (now SonicWall Cloud Edge Security), where he built scalable zero-trust and large-scale ML/analytics platforms. He combines deep systems-level expertise in C/C++, Python, Java and Scala with a track record of dramatic production performance gains (e.g., multi-10x throughput and latency improvements). A Ph.D. from Columbia, he’s equally comfortable publishing research and shipping product-quality distributed systems, and he frequently operates at the intersection of security, performance and machine learning.
