Top SchoolVatsal Sevak is a Full Stack Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience building scalable, high-performance distributed systems and microservices, currently at Zendesk in San Francisco.

Comfortable across Ruby, Java, Scala, Rails, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), he blends hands-on engineering with platform-level thinking to enable high-availability customer-facing APIs. His work often focuses on practical resilience: autoscaling strategies, cursor pagination for large result sets, and background-job frameworks that let clients perform bulk operations without blocking. Colleagues rely on him as a domain expert who converts performance bottlenecks into repeatable, observable solutions while staying eager to adopt new tooling.
