Summary
Shashwat S is a Software Engineer with nine years of experience building high-scale infrastructure and geospatial systems, currently shaping maps and data platforms at Uber in Amsterdam. He’s led design and delivery of lane-level navigation inference, airport pickup tracing, and a large migration of map ingestion to internal compute, alongside re-architecting Hive Metastore access patterns to cut primary load by 70%. Comfortable across distributed systems, data engineering, and geospatial problems, he has a track record of pragmatic, race-free caching and reconciliation jobs that materially reduced pipeline p99s. A lifelong learner with a dry sense of humor (and a terse GitHub credo: “Don't blow it”), he brings both operational rigor and curiosity to ambiguous, production-critical challenges.
