Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNipunn Koorapati is a software engineer with 14 years of experience building reliable, high-performance systems—from client software at Dropbox shipped to hundreds of millions to the serverless backend work he’s doing now at Convex. He brings deep systems and compiler experience (contributions to projects like ispc, rust-smallvec, and the Rust tooling ecosystem) alongside a strong focus on testing and automation demonstrated by extensive test-infrastructure work for black, mypy, cargo, and pip. At Dropbox he rearchitected sync components into Rust, led cross-cutting engineering efforts in a large monorepo, and helped scale services and developer workflows. Equally comfortable in performance engineering, backend development, and compiler internals, he blends rigorous engineering with pragmatic product sensibilities and a knack for improving developer experience.
