With over 13 years of experience in building large-scale distributed systems, time-series stores, and search and information retrieval, I am an innovation champion with over 20 patents. At Google, I built foundational components of the Google Distributed Edge Platform to power low-latency applications, such as self-driving cars and 5G telecom applications. Prior to this, I built and scaled products at a startup to provide 360-degree visibility for data centers, which led to a successful acquisition by VMware. I also scaled the team from 20+ engineers to 200+ in the organization and expanded the customer base from less than 10 to over 1000. I have played a critical role in two successful startup acquisitions.
