Venkat Chakravarthy is a Software Development Manager, Alexa, Amazon at Amazon Lab126. He possess expertise in c, distributed systems, unix, linux, perl and 5 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Venkat on the Infinite Volume project at NetApp. I worked with him when he was in India and here state side. Venkat is a diligent employee with good judgement. He balances tactical needs with long term choices. Specifically, I remember when we had to get code ready for a milestone, and I started to make some top-level comments on the build structure, and his response was that, yes, that would be addressed, here is the bug number, but this works now. And, we met the milestone. There was another time that we had some ideas on how to structure a file system construct in connection with the Infinite Volume, and an idea had gotten rejected at a high level, but without enough scrutiny. He called me up and said, after laying out the schedule and considering things further, he wanted to pursue it and walked me through his thoughts. IIRC, this is the approach we eventually took. He keeps his eye out for other approaches and tools and incorporates them appropriately into his work."
