Bio

• I am the Chief Architect at Maginatics, a startup working in the area of enterprise cloud storage, and a founding member of the Maginatics team. With a background in distributed systems, storage systems, virtualization and operating systems, I lead technical design and architecture at Maginatics and am involved in every aspect of product definition and strategy.

• Before joining Maginatics, I was a Senior Researcher in the Exascale Computing Lab at HP Labs. There, I led research into data-intensive computing, next-generation non-volatile memories, Infrastructure-as-a-Service systems, and next-generation data centers.

• I received my PhD in Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, where I was a part of the Parallel Data Lab, and conducted research on distributed storage systems with an emphasis on wide area network data transfer. I also received my BS and MS degrees in Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.
