Profile: https://flows.cv/vivekpatel

Senior Software Engineer at Snap specializing in architecting and operating mission-critical backend systems that power core platform monetization and functionality. I excel at designing and managing low-latency and high-QPS services built for performance and reliability at massive scale.

I drive end-to-end project execution on high-impact initiatives, focusing on scalable ML infrastructure for commerce and discovery. I engineered a generalized retrieval platform that allows quick integration with ANN (Approximate Nearest Neighbor) and retrieval data sources, ensuring scalable ML inference that powers user personalization and targeting.

My expertise includes leading development on systems responsible for processing and serving millions of daily updates to product updates, which is critical to the platform's ability to generate revenue via Advertisement. I leverage deep experience in large-scale data processing (e.g., Spark/Beam/Dataflow) and a strong operational perspective to optimize critical infrastructure, consistently delivering solutions with execution and operational excellence. I am committed to setting technical standards and actively mentoring team members.
