What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Systems Programming expert with over 22 years of experience in high-performance storage, backup, and distributed computing environments. My deep expertise spans Linux userspace, Windows kernel, and NetWare kernel development. I have architected cloud-native cluster storage solutions leveraging S3 object stores with hybrid HDD+SSD backends, and I am proud to be the author of 27 U.S. patents in cryptography, virtualization, security, and distributed systems.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven track record in root-cause analysis of terabyte-scale trace data, performance tuning at the instruction level, and scalable system design. My recent role as a Technology Architect at Akashx.ai involved extending Apache Doris/StarRocks to support hybrid cluster modes, balancing cost versus performance, and building a multi-core code instrumentation and tracing framework for large monolithic binaries.
I am passionate about mentoring cross-functional teams in advanced debugging and innovation best practices, and I continuously seek to push the boundaries of technology through my contributions to corporate inventions and active participation in hackathons and DIY projects.
