Tijoy Tom is a software architect with 14 years of deep, hands-on experience building low-latency runtimes, distributed cloud orchestrators, and secure infrastructure using Go, C/C++, C#, and Rust. He has driven performance and reliability improvements at scale—most recently at Okta and previously at Splunk where he quadrupled TSIDX query performance and architected a modernized enterprise search stack around Arrow/Parquet. Tijoy's background spans OS internals, compilers, unikernel development (notably contributions to the nanovms/nanos unikernel), and zero-trust security, enabling him to bridge control-plane and data-plane concerns for cloud services. He has led cross-functional teams at Microsoft to deliver planet-scale ML acceleration and Service Fabric improvements, and at NanoVMs and Lyft to innovate around unikernels, networking, and microservices. Based in Seattle, he pairs low-level systems craftsmanship with cloud-native architecture and an uncommon focus on melding OS-level optimizations with practical, secure deployment workflows.
