Today, as is often the case, one tech company’s loss became another’s gain.  Utkarsh Srivastava has left Yahoo after spending more than three years as a senior research scientist there, and Srivastava confirmed (in well under 140 characters) that he’ll land at Twitter.<\/p>\n

Srivastava’s background is quite impressive.  On the educational front, he earned degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology and Stanford, and happened to receive the Stanford Graduate Fellowship, too.<\/p>\n

Around the same time, he acted as a research intern at Microsoft and then IBM, and was awarded the Microsoft Graduate Fellowship.  Not bad.<\/p>\n

Next, Srivastava headed to Yahoo, where according to his LinkedIn profile<\/a>, he became "one of the original designers and developers of Pig, a high-level language for data processing over Hadoop.  Pig is open-sourced as a subproject of Hadoop, and is routinely used in production for large data processing both within, and outside of Yahoo!."<\/p>\n

Which more or less brings us back to the present day.  Louis Gray<\/a> noticed that Srivastava had been added to a list of Twitter employees, and Srivastava confirmed it on Twitter a little later.<\/p>\n

Yahoo hasn’t named any sort of replacement or, as far as we can tell, chained its remaining employees to their desks.<\/p>\n
