Senior🎓
Top SchoolSahil Garg is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building large-scale, customer-facing systems across Google, Amazon Prime Video, and Pinterest, currently leading an 8-engineer team on Ads Platforms and access management. He has driven high-impact products—from ad reporting dashboards that influence millions in ad spend to petabyte-scale data quality services that saved millions monthly—combining backend, frontend, and data-driven ML work. His background spans client and server features shipped to 80M+ Android TV devices, real-time analytics and dashboarding at Prime Video, and contributions to Android TV reference samples that include backend Python tooling and Kotlin integrations. A Berkeley M.Eng. and institute gold medalist from Manipal, he blends rigorous research internships (Microsoft Research) and fintech/data-science stints with hands-on product engineering. Beyond coding, he founded and grew a developer community at Manipal and mentors engineers while driving operational excellence and hiring. He’s equally comfortable architecting generative-AI tooling for anomaly detection as he is polishing developer-facing tooling and mobile experiences.
