Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Donie is a Senior Firmware Engineer with 11 years of specialized experience across SAN and distributed storage, SSDs, NVMe, and automated storage tiering, currently contributing at Solidigm after a decade-plus at Intel and IBM. He blends deep hands-on firmware and driver development (C) with test automation and tooling (Python, Perl, bash), having led engineering teams for Optane PMEM and dual-port NVMe products. Comfortable in customer-facing and technical evangelism roles, he regularly presents at conferences and translates complex storage architectures into deployable solutions. His background in both software and electrical engineering, plus an MBA, gives him a rare mix of technical depth and commercial insight for design wins and product enablement. An unspoken strength is his history of building diagnostic and profiling tools (ioprof, automation/reporting suites) that materially improved testing and qualification throughput. Based in Chandler, Arizona, he focuses on delivering robust, testable firmware that meets stringent data-center reliability requirements.
