Summary
Satwant Rana is a software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in backend infrastructure and distributed systems, currently contributing at Fennel (acquired by Databricks). He has led backend teams at Rubrik as a senior engineer and founding Bangalore hire, working on distributed version control, deduplicated file systems, upgrades, and kernel-level concerns—earning patents for snapshot sharding and restoration. He’s comfortable in startup roles too, having co-founded an online publishing platform and consulted on technology strategy for consumer and mental-health startups. Trained at IIT Delhi with both B.Tech and M.Tech degrees, Satwant blends deep systems expertise with entrepreneurial curiosity and a track record of shipping production-grade, storage-focused solutions. An understated thread through his career is tooling and systems thinking applied to real-world M&A and consumer workflows, not just research.
