# Surya Ganesh > Software @ oxen.ai Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/suryaganesh I'm a Software Engineer with strong systems engineering background. I have special interest in Privacy Enhancing Technologies such as, Federated Learning, privacy preserving ML, and differentially private systems. In the past, I've designed, built and worked on systems involving MLOPs, Performance Optimization and parallelization of services in K8s, building prod systems based on cutting edge Research in ML and distributed systems. Currently I'm focusing on research involving privacy preserving ML and Differential privacy. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Oxen.ai Jan 2025 – Present | New York, United States - Working on the core rust based OSS data versioning system on both optimization and design. https://github.com/Oxen-AI/Oxen/commits/main/?author=subygan ### Senior Systems Engineer @ NimbleEdge Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Bengaluru, Karnataka, India Built Nimbleedge’s Federated Learning (FL) platform and individually designed, and managed their ML model sampling, training and aggregation systems. • Critical in Architecture decisions on edgeML C++ SDK built on top of Onnx runtime. Which enabled us to distribute wrappers for React-Native, Dart and Swift runtimes. To be deployed in iOS and Android applications. • Went live with a enterprise with 100M MAU. Systems I built were handling 20K requests per second at peak load. We did 50M inferences a day on EdgeML deployments. • Converted FL Research papers into Deployable and maintainable applications. • Implemented FL strategies such as FedAvg, Model Finetuning in the edge, Client Selection Polling, Secure Aggregation, etc. • Mentored and worked with Junior engineers and interns on deliverables and deployments. ### Software Engineer @ Skyflow Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 Part of the Governance team. Working on control plane services, Securing and governing privacy-vault. • Worked on RBAC and PBAC engines which enabled users to define granular access control, enabling users to control access at table, column, row, location(based on IP lookup) and data-region level accesses by applications. • Designed and built service token based authentication for machine to machine Access management • Migrated from a single tenant architecture to a multi-tenant architecture. With data residency in multiple regions. Globally Rolling deployments with ¡3 minute downtime for enterprise users. • Worked on performance optimisations for the Data governance engine. Which reduced p99 response time from 150 ms to 5ms at 15K rps by leveraging hierarchical caches and cache invalidation algorithms. • Migrated from an Arangodb based backend to Mongodb, with 80 Million records coming to about 1TB data, with zero downtime To improve reliability and performance ### Software Development Engineer @ Acko Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Karnataka, India As a member of the platforms team, built Insurance audit platform organizing logs and information across 15 different services, built pdf digital signing, and claims payout and payin management services. • Improved developer tooling and compile-time over a rust codebase, by optimizing heavy dependencies and building infra for remote code compilation to accelerate dev time. • During a period of management turmoil, stepped up and managed more than 150 releases over a period of 7 months coordinating across 8 different teams, besides regular development tasks. • pre-github-actions, Built an CICD platform with AWS device-farm to test, run and deliver test results on both frontend and backend systems. This reduced regression testing time by 80% ### Intern @ Acko Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Bangalore Worked on internal tooling for software reliability, testing and deployment. Implemented on-demand end to end and integration Test running environments for developers with support for backend (linux) and frontend (MacOs native, Windows native, android, ios and Web) codebases. ## Education ### Master of Science - MS in Information Technology - Privacy Engineering Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 ### Bachelor of Engineering - BE in Electronics and Instrumentation Anna University Chennai Jan 2015 – Jan 2019 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/suriya-ganesh - Website: https://suriya.cc --- Source: https://flows.cv/suryaganesh JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/suryaganesh/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
