Vivek Lakshmanan is a software engineer based in Singapore with nine years of experience building cloud-native, large-scale systems and data platforms. He has delivered high-impact features at ByteDance—improving OLAP performance, designing a leader election system with 99.95% SLA, and modernizing CI/CD—and led end-to-end product and data initiatives as a senior engineer at Smerlion that cut manual admin work by half and enabled 30% operational scaling. Comfortable across C++, Python, Go-to web stacks and distributed systems, he also contributes to open-source Java projects focused on code quality and input validation. A National University of Singapore CS graduate, Vivek pairs strong technical delivery with cross-team collaboration, having managed multi-team integrations and customer-facing APIs. Less obvious: he blends production engineering with practical tooling—e.g., a Chrome extension that slashed HR workflow time by 90%—showing a knack for automating tedious processes as much as architecting core systems.
