Top SchoolEdward Shishkin is a software engineer with 26 years of experience blending deep mathematical training (Ph.D. in Algebra, Logic and Number Theory from MSU) with practical systems engineering. He has a strong track record in storage and file-system design, contributing to ReiserFS/Reiser4 early in his career and later shaping distributed storage architectures at Red Hat, Huawei, and now IBM z Systems. Edward specializes in efficient algorithms and data structures for local and large-scale distributed storage, bringing theory-driven solutions to production challenges. Colleagues rely on him for rigorous problem solving across performance-critical, low-level systems where correctness and efficiency matter. Based in the Stuttgart region, he combines academic rigor with decades of hands-on implementation experience that often reveals subtle trade-offs in system design.
