Vaibhav Bhembre is a systems programmer working currently as a technical lead for cloud storage products at DigitalOcean. He holds a bachelor's degree in computer engineering from the University of Mumbai and a master's degree in computer science from the State University of New York in Buffalo. Before joining DigitalOcean, Vaibhav wore multiple hats and lead the backend engineering and reliability engineering teams at Sailthru Inc. From helping to scale dynamically generated campaign sends to over million users at a time, to architecting a cloud-scale compute and storage platform, Vaibhav has years of experience writing software across all layers of the stack. During his time as a student, Vaibhav co-published a novel graph algorithm that optimally computed closeness and betweenness in an incrementally updating social network. He also made changes to a highly available distributed file-system built on top of iRODs data management framework as his master's project. This system, that was actively used across more than 10+ educational institutions live, was his foray into large-scale distributed storage and his transition into using Ceph professionally was only natural.
