Summary
C. Johnson is a senior engineer based in San Jose with deep expertise in high-availability transaction systems, FPGA networking, and real-time IoT for private cloud and HFT applications. With roots at Tandem/Compaq/HPE working on NonStop SQL 3PC cluster commit coordination and subtransactions, he brings decades of distributed-database and fault-tolerant systems know-how into modern FPGA and cloud contexts. He has led small startups and R&D efforts, authored patents and demos (including an FPGA transaction system demo published in 2023), and served in HPE Labs and advanced programming roles at Nutanix and NASA Ames contractors. Currently at Algo-Logic Systems and consulting for Daedaelus, he blends low-level hardware design with high-level architecture and production AWS development. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic designs that bridge legacy transaction guarantees and cutting-edge networking hardware. An uncommon strength is his sustained focus on transaction commit semantics translated into FPGA-accelerated, real-time deployments.
