Summary
Matt Bisson is a senior software engineer specializing in storage performance and distributed systems, currently working on Azure Storage Performance at Microsoft with over 20 years of production experience. He has deep C/C++ systems expertise—compiler design, multi-threading, async I/O, and low-latency inter-process messaging—and has driven snapshot and replication technologies that underpin VMware’s VCDR and vSAN integrations. At VMware he designed no-stun Light-Weight Delta snapshotting, a Transport API for partner integrations, and high-throughput messaging used in VM I/O hot paths, demonstrating a knack for marrying systems design with pragmatic API surfaces. His background spans embedded and mobile platforms (BlackBerry, Palm), large-scale video analytics, and high-availability services, giving him a rare cross-domain fluency from kernel-adjacent code to cloud storage. Known as a careful architect and fast implementer, he also brings experience writing low-level libc routines and ARM assembly when performance demanded it. Based in Somerville, MA, he combines rigorous engineering discipline with a continuous-learning mindset that surfaces in both foundational infrastructure work and partner-facing solutions.
