Summary
Shaon Barman is a seasoned software engineering consultant with 16 years of experience building reliable, scalable systems from early prototypes to production at companies including Twitter, Atomic AI, and Picoyune. With a PhD-level research background from UC Berkeley and deep hands-on experience at Mozilla, Captricity, Google, IBM and Microsoft internships, he excels at tackling messy, high-impact problems in online health and safety and platform reliability. At Twitter he designed and maintained systems to action policy-violating users, and at Captricity he delivered performance improvements and novel task-queue backends that sped critical workflows by an order of magnitude. Comfortable across backend systems, distributed task queues, and observability tooling, he combines academic rigor with pragmatic engineering to ship resilient solutions. Based in Berkeley, he seeks roles that stretch him technically and let him transform complex requirements into operational systems.
