Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHeather Lanigan is a systems-oriented software engineer with over 15 years of experience building and validating complex storage and cloud infrastructure, from kernel-level fixes to OpenStack cloud products. She has led cross-functional teams at NetApp to improve interoperability and integration testing for converged blade/storage systems, driving a 60% improvement in team metrics in one year. Equally comfortable writing C, Python, Java, and Go, she has hands-on experience with SAN/FC/FCoE, UNIX/Linux internals, and the host utilities that bridge OS and storage. At TransCirrus she contributed front- and back-end enhancements for an OpenStack-based private cloud and taught Ubuntu OpenStack fundamentals, blending engineering with enablement. Her career includes authoring protocol updates for SM-HBA standards and implementing an FC-HBA API on Tru64 UNIX—work that reflects deep debugging instincts and a knack for surfacing hard-to-find configuration defects before customers do. Based in Apex, NC, she combines systems-level craftsmanship with practical leadership and cross-team consulting.
