Yash Kothadiya — Software Engineer
🚀 Tech Enthusiast | Software Engineer | Distributed Systems & Security Researcher Hi, I’m Yash Kothadiya—a passionate software engineer and researcher dedicated to building high-performance, scalable, and secure systems. With experience spanning distributed systems, system security, and backend engineering, I thrive in environments that challenge me to push technological boundaries. 🎓 Currently, I’m pursuing my M.S. in Computer Science at Stony Brook University, where I focus on system security, distributed computing, and database systems. My work at the Secure Systems Lab involves designing efficient kernel-level security mechanisms using eBPF, ensuring robust provenance tracking while maintaining system performance. 💻 Previously, as an Associate Software Engineer at NICE, I enhanced high-concurrency microservices, leveraging Spring Boot, AWS, and machine learning to optimize workforce management systems. I developed scalable solutions that improved forecasting accuracy, API performance, and automation processes. 🔍 Technical Strengths • Languages: C, C++, Python, Rust, Golang • Systems & Security: eBPF, Linux Kernel Development, Distributed Systems, OS Internals • Backend & Cloud: Spring Boot, Node.js, gRPC, AWS, GCP, Docker • Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB • Multithreading & Performance Engineering 🛠 Key Projects • EAUDIT – Kernel-level provenance tracking via eBPF, optimizing syscall event encoding • RAFT – Implemented a fault-tolerant distributed key-value store using Raft Consensus Algorithm • LFS – Built a Linux OS from scratch, configuring its kernel, bootloader, and shell • ENCRYPTO – Developed a hybrid cryptographic algorithm combining RSA & Blowfish, securing mobile applications 🏆 Beyond Engineering I have led tech events for 5000+ participants, won Best Innovative Product at Stack 1.0 Hackathon, and even composed award-winning music. 🔗 Let’s Connect! I’m always up for discussions on system security, distributed computing, and cutting-edge backend technologies. Feel free to reach out if you want to collaborate, brainstorm ideas, or explore exciting opportunities!
