About

Software engineer with ~5 years experience building systems that handle real load and platforms at scale. I work with backend systems, compiler internals, and distributed architecture. Currently at IBM, I work on LLVM/Clang compiler and open-source contributions. Recent wins: - 20% reduction in execution time across benchmarked workloads - 33% fewer production crashes via ML-guided static analysis - 50% faster hotspot identification for high-concurrency systems 📩 in.tech.vasu.sharma@gmail.com
