Summary
Sameer Suresh is a software engineer with a decade of experience building high-throughput, reliable systems across consumer platforms and core infrastructure. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he has driven growth and notifications infrastructure at Nextdoor—designing services that handled 100M+ notifications per day—and recently joined Netflix to continue solving large-scale delivery challenges. His background spans backend stacks like Python/Django and Go, with hands-on ownership of email/push delivery, job scheduling, and offline task processing that directly reduced costs and operational load. Notably, as an intern he built a microservice to deliver 50M emails/day and cut AWS and bandwidth costs by over $250K annually, showing an early knack for practical optimizations at scale. He pairs an EECS degree from UC Berkeley with a track record of shipping production systems that balance performance, reliability, and cost.
