Summary
Sangman Kim is a software engineer with 13 years of experience specializing in operating systems, high-performance networking (RDMA/sockets), GPUs/MICs, and cryptography, currently working at Google in Mountain View. He has a strong track record of production performance engineering—improving SNAP CPU efficiency by up to 31% and CDN server capacity by 9% through cross-team collaboration with kernel and NIC hardware teams. Previously, he built core control-plane services for Pure Storage FlashBlade and developed low-latency RDMA/GPUDirect networking and transactional OS features as a graduate researcher at UT Austin. Comfortable spanning research and product engineering, he combines deep systems knowledge with pragmatic implementation, testing, and monitoring practices. An often-overlooked strength is his hardware-aware software design, proven by work across x86/ARM CPUs, switch chips, and NICs to squeeze real-world performance gains.
