Summary
Venketaram Ramachandran is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, service-oriented systems at Google and Amazon after earning a B.S. in EECS from UC Berkeley and pursuing graduate studies in computer science. He brings polyglot expertise across Java, Ruby, C/C++, Python, Scala and JavaScript, and practical experience with AWS services (DynamoDB, S3, SQS, SWF) and both relational and NoSQL datastores. His background spans full-stack work—from parsing and rendering PowerPoint files in C++/HTML5 at Cisco to backend services and workflow automation at major cloud providers—grounded in TDD and Agile practices. Known for turning research ideas into production prototypes (AMPLab crowdsourcing work and an Amazon Mechanical Turk–familiar stack), he balances deep systems knowledge with pragmatic product delivery. Based in Fremont, CA, he favors clean, testable architectures and has repeatedly shipped end-to-end features at scale in large engineering organizations.
