Top SchoolVikash Dat is a Staff Software Engineer with 14 years of experience building high-performance distributed systems and data platforms, currently based in the New York City area. He has led architecture and hands-on implementation of low-latency analytics, Spark tuning, and TB-scale data flows for companies across security, ad tech, and fintech, consistently cutting runtime and cost through careful profiling and system design. At SecurityScorecard and Videri he delivered dramatic performance improvements (e.g., Presto and Spark optimizations) and architected blue/green data flows and containerized deployments that made analytics both faster and more reliable. He pairs a strong academic foundation (MS in Computer Science, 3.9 GPA) with practical leadership—mentoring teams, managing remote engineers, and translating data science models into production pipelines. Notably, he has a track record of stabilizing real-time, high-concurrency systems (museum exhibits, kiosk networks, and IVR platforms) that require predictable low-latency behavior under heavy load.
