Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIvan Picoli is a postdoctoral researcher and software engineer with a PhD in computer science who specializes in data systems, storage, and computational SSDs. He has a decade of experience building programmable storage stacks—from an open-source NVMe controller and dynamic flash translation layers developed during his PhD to a production RocksDB engine for Samsung’s ZNS drives. Currently he architects an SSD OS for an EU-funded cloud storage initiative, blending low-level C systems programming with cloud architecture design. His work uniquely focuses on moving database logic closer to flash, enabling portions of data processing to run inside SSDs for latency and efficiency gains. He pairs academic rigor and open-source development (notably ox-ctrl / OX-App) with industry-grade delivery, bringing both research insight and practical implementation experience. Based in Copenhagen, he combines deep SSD internals expertise with hands-on OS and database engineering to tackle next-generation storage challenges.
