Summary
Swaminathan Sivaraman is a systems-focused software engineer with nine years of experience building high-performance infrastructure at Google and previously at D. E. Shaw, where he owned core trading-system components and automated large-scale testing frameworks. A Stony Brook CS master’s (4.0 GPA) and former member of the File Systems and Storage Lab, he combines deep systems knowledge with practical performance work—evidenced by an SPDK-based NVMe SSD performance project and a user-space RAID layer that substantially improved I/O metrics. Fluent in Python, C/C++, Java and Perl, he has a track record of bridging language and platform boundaries (e.g., exposing Java APIs to Python via RMI) to accelerate development and testing. Based in Mountain View, he’s motivated by designing real-world solutions that measurably improve reliability and throughput, and he frequently takes mentorship and ownership roles that scale team impact.
