Senior🎓
Top SchoolSandhya Bankar is a Lead Kernel Engineer with a decade of experience specializing in Linux kernel development, kernel module design, system programming and low-level debugging in C and Assembly. She has 3+ years of upstream contributions, including 100+ Outreachy patches that replaced a custom allocator with IDR in the file-descriptor path—delivering tangible memory and performance improvements for real workloads. Currently at NPCI (via Translab) after roles with Rocket Software and The Linux Foundation, she works across SUSE SLE15, z/ Linux and Red Hat platforms and combines kernel hacking with Python and shell tooling. An M.Tech in Computer Networks and a regular open-source speaker and blogger, she’s as comfortable explaining kernel internals to non-specialists as she is diving into perf traces to optimize throughput.
