Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSankalp Kohli is a seasoned engineering leader with 11+ years building and operating massive distributed datastores, currently directing engineering for datastores at Meta and formerly leading Apple’s Apache Cassandra team at petabyte scale. He has driven major Cassandra contributions—transient replication, faster streaming, Netty-based inter-node communication, incremental repair, and virtual tables—and helped validate Cassandra 4.0 while running hundreds of PB across tens of thousands of hosts. Equally comfortable in hands-on performance work and program-level leadership, his prior work improved lightweight transaction performance tenfold and hardened gossip, compaction, and anti-entropy at Apple scale. An Apache Cassandra committer and PMC member, he’s a frequent conference speaker and a recruiter for dev-ops and storage talent who combines deep open-source stewardship with production-grade reliability engineering.
