Summary
Joel Stenkvist is a software engineer with 10 years’ experience building and testing distributed storage and cloud-native systems, currently focused on system test engineering for NetApp’s ONTAP across on-prem and cloud environments. He combines low-level kernel and performance optimization expertise in C/C++ with modern automation in Python, Go, Kubernetes and CI tooling to deliver reliable, high-throughput storage features. Joel’s background spans kernel development, performance analysis, and end-to-end CI automation, giving him a rare blend of OS internals and scalable infrastructure skills. His master’s research on integrating S3 into HopsFS reflects a pragmatic approach to cost-effective, cloud-aware storage design. Comfortable moving between debugging with gdb and shipping Kubernetes-based test frameworks, he’s as effective improving IOPS/latency as he is in building developer-facing tooling. Based in Stockholm, he pairs entrepreneurial drive with a history of shipping apps, tools and testing systems to market.
