Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVivek Sengupta is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable cloud and consumer-facing systems, currently working on capacity management and efficiency for Google Cloud. He previously shipped core features at Amazon across Alexa Smart Home, Communications and Education—including Away Lighting, light ramping in routines, and internationalized name resolution—and has hands-on experience designing infrastructure, authentication, and large-scale testing. His research internship at Carnegie Mellon contributed to Peloton, an open-source HTAP in-memory DBMS, where he implemented type-system conversions and data movement between Postgres and a tile-based storage model. Vivek combines a strong academic foundation (MS CS, USC; B.Tech CS) with practical expertise in databases, ERP systems and cloud-native services, and is comfortable moving between low-level database internals and high-level product delivery. A detail that stands out: he’s ported and debugged Postgres C code to C++ for Peloton, demonstrating both deep systems skill and persistence on nontrivial engineering debt.
