Senior🎓
Top SchoolVarun Naik is a software engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in databases and distributed systems, currently contributing to Google Cloud Spanner. He helped design and implement both RBAC and a relationship-based access control system for Zendesk Custom Objects, where he was one of the longest-tenured engineers on the project. Trained at UC Berkeley and UW–Madison, he blends academic insight into decades of database research with pragmatic engineering for production systems. Varun has also coached hiring and reliability practices, running interviews and mentoring peers to improve monitoring and operational readiness. He favors building strongly consistent systems that expose powerful, fine-grained access controls—and often gravitates toward the subtle tradeoffs between expressivity and performance.
