Sanjay Ghemawat Net Worth
It is believed that Sanjay Ghemawat net worth is around $1 million to $5 million. His work in computer systems, specifically Google, has allowed him to live a comfortable lifestyle. He has been working at Google since 1999. Before this, he worked as a member of the research staff at DEC Systems Research Center in Palo Alto in California.
His line of work has included data processing model MapReduce, the Google File System, and other various databases which include Bigtable and Spanner. “Wired” have described him as one of the “most important software engineers of the internet age”
In 20019, Sanjay became a member of the National Academy of Engineering for his monumental contributions to the science and engineering of computer systems.
Personal Life
Sanjay Ghemawat was born in 1966. There is not much information about his roots or his family.
He went to Cornell University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He got his doctorate degree or PhD from MIT in 1995. His dissertation then was entitled “The Modified Object Buffer: A Storage Management Technique for Object-Oriented Databases.” His advisors were Frans Kaashoek and Barbara Liskov. Kaashoek is a Dutch computer scientist who was also elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for his contributions to computer systems and distributed systems. On the other hand, Liskov is an American computer scientist who was a pioneer of programming languages and distributed computing
Professional Career
Before working for Google, Sanjay Ghemawat worked at the DEC Systems Research Center. He began his collaboration with Jeff Dean who was working at a nearby research laboratory. At DEC, Dean and Ghemawat worked on a Java compiler and a system profiling tool.
His research areas include Data Management, Machine Intelligence, Software Systems, Distributed Systems and Parallel Computing, and Natural Language Processing.
Data Management is very important in Google across a variety of topics with deep connections to Google products. Data management research issues including information extraction and integration, large scale data analysis, and effective data exploration. Machine learning includes classical algorithms. For Software Systems, Google develops technology across the entire system, from operating systems to multiple ones that run on hundreds of thousands of computers. Distributed Systems and Parallel Computing deals with hybrid research models. Lastly, Natural Language Processing centers on algorithms that apply at scale, across languages, and across domains.
In Google, he worked on MapReduce, which is a programming model associated with implementation for processing and generating big data sets. Google Files Systems provides an efficient and reliable access to data using large clusters of commodity hardware. Google Spanner Spanner is a distributed SQL database management tool used in Google F1. Ghemawat also worked on Bigtable, a NoSQL database service for large analytical and operational workloads for Google Cloud Portfolio.
