About

As a seasoned Software Engineer with nearly 5 years of experience, I specialize in building robust, high-performance system software primarily using C++, C, and Windows Kernel APIs. At DataCore, I’ve led key initiatives on SANsymphony, engineered RAID support, developed and maintained IOCTL interfaces, and debugged BSODs using Windbg. My passion lies in low-level systems, including kernel-mode drivers, storage virtualization, and performance tuning. I’ve made notable contributions to OpenZFS on Windows, including implementing over 100+ IOCTL-based performance counters and .sys/.exe build tracking features. Whether it’s automating workflows with PowerShell, tracing with ETW, or live-debugging kernel crashes, I thrive in environments that demand deep technical expertise and precision. I actively participate in architecture reviews and love translating complex problems into elegant, production-grade solutions.
