Thilina Buddhika

I am a software engineer interested in distributed systems, with a focus on large-scale data storage and processing systems.

Currently, I work at Meta (formerly Facebook) on an infrastructure team that builds and operates one of Meta's primary blob storage systems. Before Meta, I worked as a Software Engineer at WSO2 on their Identity Server product.

I completed my Ph.D. in computer science from Colorado State University in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Shrideep Pallickara. My research focused on leveraging distributed stream processing systems for off-premise data streams such as in IoT.

I am an open-source software enthusiast. I am a committer for the Apache Axis2 project and a two-time participant in Google Summer of Code with Apache Software Foundation.
