Senior🎓
Top SchoolSri Ramanujam is a senior software engineer with 13 years of experience building large-scale distributed systems and platform infrastructure, currently based in the New York City area and working at Reddit. He has deep backend expertise from roles at Datto—where he co-authored a Hyper-V Libvirt subsystem, helped found a Rust-based distributed block storage project (dblock), and open-sourced RDPMux—to production engineering at Reddit. An active open-source contributor, Sri improved FreeRDP’s H.264 support and integrated VA-API hardware decoding, demonstrating both performance tuning and cross-version compatibility work. He combines systems-level thinking with pragmatic engineering: shipping cloud continuity and storage products while reducing runtime encoder errors and optimizing hardware-accelerated paths. Outside of work he’s a Linux and open-source enthusiast with a quirky interest in “crappy pop music,” hinting at a personality that mixes technical rigor with down-to-earth taste.
