Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamir Desai is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building low-latency, large-scale search and streaming systems in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has driven infrastructure and developer-velocity improvements at Yelp—authoring Jenkins automation for in-place Elasticsearch schema changes, adding partial-update support to a Flink ES sink, and building reconciliation tooling to keep indices and jobs in sync. His work spans search ranking, real-time Kafka-to-Elasticsearch pipelines, and datastore DevOps for Elasticsearch, Cassandra, and Zookeeper, with a pragmatic eye for reducing serialization/network overhead by moving ML scoring into search plugins. Now at Uber, he continues to focus on robust distributed systems and production data flows, bringing a blend of backend engineering and operational discipline informed by dual technical and business degrees from the University of Michigan.
