Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVihang Mehta is a founding engineer with 12 years of experience building high-performance systems, currently focused on compilers and AI workflow deployment in San Francisco. He has deep experience in distributed systems and telemetry from his time at Pixie, and prior work at Google and Trifacta shows a strong track record of performance optimization—once cutting UI preview latency from seconds to under 200ms and redesigning a data transformation engine to handle 200x more data. Vihang combines low-level expertise (C++11, Clang, ASan/TSan) with production-scale engineering across cloud-native environments, OIDC auth, and k8s telemetry. He gravitates toward hard technical problems and collaborative teams where he can continue learning, recently applying those instincts to compiler work for AI applications. Less obvious: he pairs academic roots in math and CS from Brown with hands-on operational experience shipping open-source components contributed to the CNCF ecosystem.
