Balvansh Heerekar — Software Engineer
I am a Software Engineer in Performance at Splunk, where I focus on developing benchmarks to efficiently test and push the performance boundaries of our products. My journey into the world of performance engineering began during my tenure as a Graduate Research Assistant at Virginia Tech. There, I explored the potential of PuzzleHype, a distributed hypervisor specifically designed to tackle resource fragmentation, by creating and utilizing micro-benchmarks and applications. My skill set encompasses a wide range of areas, including advanced Linux kernel programming, network protocols, and cybersecurity. I have a strong command over programming languages such as Python, C/C++, Java, and expertise in web technologies. If you are interested in discussing performance engineering, software development, or leveraging AI/ML for optimizing system performance, I would be delighted to connect and exchange insights.
