Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Richer is a systems programmer with 11 years of experience focused on petabyte-scale distributed file systems, currently building core protocol and coherency features at Qumulo from Seattle. He has led Rust rewrites of critical RPC servers, implemented cross-protocol locking and SMB leasing that operate across 100+ node clusters, and delivered enterprise-grade NFS and SMB features including Kerberos, byte-range locking, quotas, and snapshot support. Comfortable across Rust, C, and Python, he pairs low-level protocol design with automated chaos testing and platform bring-up (including an Azure MVP). Early internships at Cisco, Bluebeam, and SnapStream reflect a history of pragmatic tooling, automation, and analytics work. Notably, his distributed locking and cross-node RPC work enabled first-of-its-kind client-side caching coherency for multi-protocol file access.
