Summary
Carlos Maiolino is a Principal Software Engineer with 16 years focused on Linux kernel and storage/filesystem design, currently leading filesystem work at Red Hat. He has deep C and assembly expertise and maintains the kernel filesystem tree, with long-running contributions to XFS and the ext2/3/4 family. His background spans front-line support and maintenance to senior engineering and principal-level architecture, giving him a rare combination of customer-facing troubleshooting experience and low-level systems design. Based in Czechia, he brings practical knowledge of high-availability clusters and enterprise storage behaviors to large-scale Linux deployments. Colleagues rely on him for resolving subtle kernel-level performance and correctness issues that often hide in storage stacks. He pairs formal computer engineering training with a pragmatic, systems-first approach to shipping resilient open-source infrastructure.
