Council Member
Ayush Raj Jha is a Senior Software Engineer based in Santa Clara, California, with over ten years of experience designing, scaling, and operating large-scale distributed systems and cloud infrastructure. His career spans backend platform engineering, microservices architecture, and reliability engineering across the healthcare, public safety, and financial technology sectors.
Ayush Raj Jha currently serves as Senior Software Engineer at Oracle in Santa Clara, a position he has held since January 2022, with his most recent responsibilities beginning in February 2025. In this elevated capacity, he leads platform architecture and infrastructure evolution for Oracle Health's CareAware Multimedia systems, which serve more than 10,000 healthcare organizations. He architected a large-scale health data export platform capable of processing datasets exceeding 100GB, applying horizontal scaling, parallel compute, and optimized I/O pipelines to reduce export latency from 450 seconds to 90 seconds — an 80% improvement. He designed and deployed multi-region infrastructure across the United States, United Kingdom, and UAE using Terraform and Python, implementing blue-green deployments that compressed release cycles from 8 minutes to 1 minute with zero downtime. He also built an enterprise image export and replication system using OCI Object Storage with multipart uploads, lifecycle policies, and pre-authenticated requests, handling over 50TB in monthly transfers at 99.99% reliability. Beyond technical delivery, he leads architectural initiatives across three or more engineering teams, conducting design reviews, defining technical standards, and mentoring four junior engineers in distributed systems patterns and scalability principles.
In his earlier tenure at Oracle from January 2022 through January 2024, he contributed to the Next Generation OCI IoT Data Capture Platform for Medical Devices, a project featured in Larry Ellison's keynote at Oracle CloudWorld 2023. During this period, he re-engineered the core microservices platform using Java 11 and 17, Docker, and Kubernetes, introducing circuit breakers, health checks, and SLO-driven monitoring that improved service availability from 97.99% to 99.99%. He migrated IoT services to the Helidon framework with reactive patterns, reducing startup time by 50% and memory footprint by 30%. A particularly impactful contribution was eliminating a critical performance bottleneck through the implementation of clustered caching with Oracle Coherence using a cache-aside pattern, which reduced API response times from 15 seconds to 90 milliseconds — a 99.4% improvement — while accelerating instance provisioning by 30%. He also executed a zero-downtime Flyway migration from Oracle 19c to 23ai within a multi-tenant architecture for IoT microservices, and increased code coverage by 40% through comprehensive unit, integration, and performance testing across caching and database layers.

Prior to Oracle, Ayush Raj Jha worked as a Software Engineer at Motorola Solutions in Chicago from June 2020 to December 2021. There, he designed and delivered the Directed Patrol geospatial routing platform for the Command Central application, implementing the Haversine formula and Dijkstra's algorithm for optimal checkpoint sequencing across more than 2,000 law enforcement agencies. He enabled location services for the Command Central Responder mobile application, which serves as an iOS and Android radio substitute for field personnel. He built a RESTful API gateway capable of handling more than 10,000 concurrent connections using Netty non-blocking I/O, WebSocket, and OAuth 2.0/JWT authentication. He also implemented dynamic log4j2 and Elasticsearch 7.x integration for runtime log level adjustment via REST endpoints, cutting production debugging time by 70%, and enhanced the primary deployment pipeline's performance by 50% through parallelization and code deduplication. His work on Audit Config and SE Linux policy enforcement via bash scripting reduced OS installation times by 76% in Fedora CoreOS. He also completed a software engineering internship at Motorola Solutions from May to December 2019, during which he reinforced Kubernetes service readiness to over 97% using health check endpoints in Java Spring Boot and prototyped distroless Docker images that were 70% smaller in size with improved security posture.
Earlier in his career, Ayush Raj Jha served as a Software Engineer at Tata Consultancy Services in Gurgaon, India from March 2015 to July 2018. He automated transaction reporting for Bank of Oman using multithreaded Java with Executor Service and Jasper Reports, processing more than 100,000 daily transactions. He developed a high-frequency options modeling tool in Java and C++ incorporating Black-Scholes pricing with sub-millisecond latency. He built a log analysis web application to visualize missing information in raw production logs, which increased operational KPIs by 12%, and optimized the runtime complexity of CLI tools written in C, Python, and Perl from O(N²) to O(N), accelerating common tasks by more than 30 times. He also completed an internship at Tata Consultancy Services from December 2014 to February 2015, where he created a software platform for an Automated Parking System using Java and DB2 integration and developed an Android application for the project that was subsequently published on the Google Play Store.
During his graduate studies, Ayush Raj Jha was a member of Upsilon Pi Epsilon, the computer science honor society, and volunteered as a youth mentor through the Young Women's Christian Association, supporting underprivileged middle school students in Oakland, as well as through SOAR for Youth, where he tutored a foster child in SAT preparation.
