Diwakar Sharma is a Senior Member of Technical Staff with a strong track record building high-performance, scalable storage and networking software for datacenter and embedded environments. He has deep expertise in scale-out NAS, NVMe, NVMe-oF, SPDK and DPU/SmartNIC data-paths, contributing to ONTAP kernel features, NFS/RDMA performance, and container-native NVMe platforms for Kubernetes. Across roles at NetApp, DataCore and now AMD Pensando, he has repeatedly delivered latency and throughput optimizations, hardware-accelerated storage integrations, and production-ready distributed systems. He combines systems-level Linux/kernel development with hands-on storage protocol engineering and close collaboration with virtualization and orchestration stacks. Based in Bengaluru, he pairs a practical engineering mindset and strong work ethic with a continuous-learning approach—often surfacing subtle performance wins (like AES/NFS privacy optimizations) that materially improve mixed workloads.
