Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVivek Kumar is a Principal Engineer based in Sunnyvale with nine years of experience building high-performance, scalable distributed systems and microservice architectures. He has a strong foundation in CS fundamentals, Linux internals, and networking, and has delivered production-critical performance improvements—such as a cache-efficient Walker framework that scaled flow handling to 10M active flows and a 20x telemetry scalability win at Arista. His background spans HPC, GPGPU (CUDA), parallel computing (MPI/OpenMP), and a broad language palette including Python, C, Go, Scala, Erlang/OTP and recent Rust experiments. Known for pragmatic performance engineering, lock-contention analysis, and memory-efficient data structures, he repeatedly reduces resource use (e.g., 3x memory reduction, 7x hash-table savings) while simplifying system complexity. An avid traveler and hiker, he pairs hands-on engineering with mentoring and rapid prototyping to turn complex distributed problems into robust, production-ready solutions.
