Summary
Rohan Chhabra is a software engineer with nine years of experience specializing in distributed systems, databases, and networking, currently advancing to Member of Technical Staff 4 at Nutanix. He has a strong track record of performance optimization—e.g., reducing CPU time of an ISO8583 parser by 65% and heap allocations by 81%—and has architected replication protocols for disaster recovery with varying RPO guarantees. Proficient in Go, Java, C, and C++, he combines systems-level kernel and storage work (FUSE patches, trie indexes, kernel probes) with cloud-native tooling like Docker, Kubernetes, Cassandra, and Kafka. His research stints at Stony Brook involved P2P storage and packet-processing projects, reflecting a habit of bridging academic insight with production engineering. A competitive programmer and ICPC regionals qualifier, he also automates developer workflows (custom GitHub Action for Go module versioning) and mentors peers to scale impact. Based in San Jose, he brings a practical, measurably performance-driven approach to building resilient, high-throughput systems.
