# Elias El Kozah > Software Engineer @ Google | Critical Infrastructure & HPC | Program Committee (Artifact Evaluation) @ ICSE 2026 Conference Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/eliaselkozah I am a Systems Engineer and Architect specialized in the foundational infrastructure that powers the modern digital economy: the high-performance data pathways that allow AI, Cloud, and Simulation systems to function at scale. My work focuses on the hard problems of data movement, resolving the I/O bottlenecks and latency constraints that limit critical workloads. I bridge the gap between low-level C++ optimization and hyperscale cloud architecture. Core Focus Areas: High-Performance Computing (HPC): Optimizing open-source communication layers (libfabric) for Exascale supercomputing clusters. Cloud Resilience: Hardening storage client libraries to ensure secure connectivity in restrictive, air-gapped, and enterprise-grade environments. Real-Time Simulation: Leveraging physics-based simulation principles to solve synthetic data and latency challenges for safety-critical systems. Technical Stewardship: Selected for the ICSE 2026 Program Committee (Artifact Evaluation), auditing the reproducibility and code integrity of next-generation software research. I am driven by engineering challenges where performance is not just a metric, but a requirement for safety and scale. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Google Jan 2025 – Present | New York, United States • Maintainer of C++ Client Libraries serving Fortune 500 and Public Sector workloads.
