Senior🎓
Top SchoolNishad Kamdar is a Staff Engineer based in Toronto with 14 years of experience specializing in Linux kernel internals, device drivers, and embedded systems. He has deep expertise in eMMC storage, command queue drivers, and filesystem internals (EXT4, F2FS), with a strong track record of board bring-up and low-level debugging across Intel x86 and ARM platforms. At Toshiba and Qualcomm he led kernel- and driver-level projects including IOCTL tooling for user-space command queue access and JEDEC-compliant eMMC validation. Comfortable interfacing with customers, he pairs technical depth in Embedded C and assembly with clear communication and presentation skills. Beyond routine development, he has repeatedly tackled cross-layer problems—bridging filesystem behavior, storage device quirks, and kernel subsystems—to deliver robust product integrations. His academic background in embedded systems (MEng) underpins a research-minded approach to complex hardware-software interactions.
