Summary
Shivang Dalal is a software engineer at Snowflake working on Unistore's query processing, with seven years of experience building data-intensive systems. A CMU computer science master's graduate with deep coursework and teaching experience in databases, he brings practical expertise from multi-role stints at D. E. Shaw where he built observability tooling, maintained a 300TB centralized dataset, and added visualizations for a catalog spanning 100k tickers. His internship at Salesforce sped up database upgrades by 24%, cutting fleet downtime by hundreds of hours monthly, and earlier research at IIT Guwahati produced an ISQED‑published cache optimization that meaningfully improved energy and lifetime metrics. Comfortable across systems, distributed workloads, and storage internals, he blends research rigor with production-grade engineering and has a record of turning performance insights into deployable tools. Based in Pittsburgh, he combines low-level systems intuition with hands-on experience optimizing large clusters and data pipelines.
