Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVinayak Agarwal is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable backend and ML infrastructure, currently at LinkedIn in Mountain View. He has a strong academic foundation (MS in Computer Science from NYU and an Engineer’s Degree from Manipal) and a track record of productionizing complex systems like Flyte across multi-cluster Kubernetes deployments to leverage Nvidia H100 GPUs. His work spans performance optimization—evidenced by a 10% reduction in bytes transferred via fragmented MP4 adoption—and backend migrations that improved availability and latency at Amazon. Vinayak blends research-driven thinking (video fuzzing for smarter scheduling) with hands-on systems engineering, often connecting low-level formats and orchestration to real user impact. Colleagues can expect a practical engineer who moves ML workloads from prototype to production while squeezing efficiency out of infrastructure.
