Senior🎓
Top SchoolShaival Shah is a Principal Engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in cloud networking, routing protocols (notably BGP and FRR), and large-scale distributed systems. With a Master’s in Computer Science from NC State and a background spanning data science, financial trading models, and production networking at a cloud startup, he blends algorithmic rigor with systems-level engineering. He’s shipped mission-critical routing features that improved fault tolerance and performance at scale, and is fluent in Golang, C, and Python for building high-throughput pipelines and networking services. Past roles show a pragmatic streak for turning noisy data into actionable models—e.g., preprocessing techniques that cut false trade signals and pipelines that sped hospital-record processing by 30%—illustrating his ability to bridge ML insights and production reliability. Based in Durham, NC, he’s driven by solving complex, real-world infrastructure problems and adding practical innovations to open routing stacks.
