Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSofya Irwin is a seasoned software engineer with nine years of experience focused on data infrastructure and high-volume streaming systems, currently building data platforms at Yelp in San Francisco. Her career includes nearly a decade at Akamai where she led IPV6 design work, improved parsers and low-latency pipelines, and integrated distributed sinks and checksums for large-scale edge data. Earlier roles at Intel and Charles River Analytics honed her systems and optimization skills—she delivered an 85% improvement in a compiler switch-lowering case and built Java tools for networked UAV routing and social-graph mapping. Comfortable across the stack, she combines low-level performance tuning with production data engineering and a track record of driving design and integration efforts. Notably, she has repeatedly taken ownership of complex, infrastructure-heavy projects that required both architectural vision and hands-on implementation.
