Saravanan Thanu is a software engineer with nine years of experience building cloud-scale systems and customer-facing web platforms, currently working at Microsoft in Redmond. He holds an MS in Computer Science from Columbia and has repeated experience improving Azure storage tooling—delivering 10x speedups via parallelism, designing load balancers, and reducing on-call toil through automation. He also has startup experience from a Techstars-backed stealth company where he built Java/Spring Boot backends and crypto on-ramp integrations. Comfortable across backend stacks (C#, Java, Node.js) and data-driven tooling, he pairs production-grade engineering with academic teaching experience in graphics and ML. A consistent pattern in his career is turning operational pain points into scalable services and measurable performance wins.
