Summary
Vinod Uddaraju is an engineering manager based in Dublin, California with 13 years of experience designing and shipping data-intensive backend systems at internet scale. He has built and scaled distributed, fault-tolerant platforms used by over 100 million users across roles at Netflix, Avira, and multiple startups, frequently leveraging JVM, Scala/Akka, Cassandra, Kafka and Ruby on Rails. Vinod combines hands-on implementation—authoring high-throughput Cassandra data models and actor-based APIs—with team leadership that has driven zero-downtime migrations from monoliths to microservices. He has a track record as a founding engineer and head of engineering, meaning he’s comfortable from prototyping through production and operational scaling. Notably, his work includes real-time identity protection and ad-network backends that process hundreds of transactions per second while protecting and serving massive user sets.
