Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMaxim Patlasov is a Principal Software Engineer with 11+ years of deep systems and kernel experience, currently advancing storage subsystems for OpenShift at Red Hat. He has a long history of upstream-facing work on filesystems (Lustre, GFS2, btrfs, overlayfs, FUSE) and low-level Linux subsystems including page-cache writeback, block layer, CFQ, and in-kernel AIO. His background spans high-performance networking and RDMA/InfiniBand stacks from his Lustre days through work on OFED, giving him rare cross-domain expertise in storage and interconnects. At Virtuozzo he led practical innovations like intelligent virtual block devices, disk quota in GFS2, and Docker graph-driver integrations while maintaining an OpenVZ kernel tree. He is pragmatic about shipping maintainable kernel patches upstream and pairing C-level kernel work with modern Go-based storage support on cloud-native platforms. Based in Seattle, he blends decades of Solaris/Linux kernel development with current cloud-native storage engineering, often spotting performance and integration issues others miss.
