Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSreeja Nair is a Senior Replication Engineer based in Paris with over a decade of experience at the intersection of distributed systems and programming languages, split roughly equally between research and applied engineering. She holds a PhD in distributed computing from Sorbonne University and has moved from academic research at LIP6/Inria into impactful industry roles at ADLINK, ZettaScale, and currently Ditto. Her work focuses on distributed data and replication, and she contributes to open-source projects like eclipse-zenoh, where she improved Rust-based storage backend APIs to better handle sample lifecycle and key-timestamp retrieval. Comfortable navigating both low-level systems implementation and formal research, she brings a rare blend of deep theoretical insight and production-grade engineering. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, she consistently bridges academic rigor with practical, deployable storage and replication solutions.

eclipse-zenoh/zenoh
Apr 2022 - Dec 2022
zenoh unifies data in motion, data in-use, data at rest and computations. It carefully blends traditional pub/sub with geo-distributed storages, queries and computations, while retaining a level of time and space efficiency that is well beyond any of the mainstream stacks.

Contributions summary:Sreeja primarily contributed to the backend of the Zenoh project, specifically focusing on the storage management plugin. They modified the `on_sample` API within the storage backend traits, implementing logic for handling sample insertions, replacements, deletions, and patch operations. Furthermore, they introduced a new API to retrieve all key-timestamp entries from the database, enhancing data retrieval capabilities. These changes involved the Rust programming language and involved working with traits and storage functionalities.
