Niraj Srimal is a systems-focused software engineer with nine years of experience building storage software and firmware, currently contributing to CoreOS Flash Storage at Apple. He holds a 4.0 MS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech with a specialization in Computing Systems and has hands-on experience across firmware, backend, and platform development from roles at Western Digital, Apple, and Verkada. At Western Digital he helped architect Flash Translation Layer features for next-gen SDExpress cards and is listed on multiple patents (5 grants, 2 pre-grant publications) around FTL, resource management, and software optimizations. Comfortable across low-level firmware and higher-level storage platform code, he has repeatedly moved ideas from prototypes to production-grade implementations. Based in Austin, he pairs academic rigor with practical product experience—teaching system design while shipping storage features in commercial products. An understated strength is his consistent focus on performance and resource-throttling mechanisms that bridge hardware constraints and software design.
