I am currently a Sr. Software Engineer at Nexenta Systems where I am designing and building the Nexenta Edge Object Storage systems. I'm specifically focused on client-server interfaces, deduplication, system and object metadata, computational offloading, stack integration, performance characterization, analysis and accommodations for Peta/Exascale storage systems. In the past, I was involved in research to design storage subsystems for the DoE Scalable Computing Laboratory at AmesLab and Argonne National Labs, this involved researching, designing, and benchmarking the entire storage subsystems at the Petascale (1,000,000's of clients). In the future I would like to be involved in HPC I/O and storage subsystems at the Exascale and beyond. Specialties: Research, HPC, design, I/O
