Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKeith Mckay is a senior applications engineering leader with 20+ years of experience specializing in non-volatile memory, NAND/SSD technologies, and optimizing hardware–data interactions. At ScaleFlux he connects product engineering to customers through technical enablement, performance testing, datasheets, and vendor-neutral NAND/SSD training, while still contributing to open-source projects. His background includes SSD controller support and failure analysis at Seagate and low-level NAND logic design and verification at SanDisk and Spansion, giving him deep systems-to-silicon fluency. Colleagues rely on him to turn complex storage science into practical, deployable solutions and to bridge cross-disciplinary teams from firmware to product management. An avid memory-and-storage tinkerer (and occasional SWE LARPer), he combines rigorous engineering with an educator’s knack for making opaque technologies accessible.
