Summary
Nithin Sujir is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building low-level platform and systems software, currently working at Google out of San Jose. He has a strong track record leading kernel and storage platform efforts—driving Tintri’s NVMe next-gen architecture, major kernel upgrades, and innovative rootfs and HA solutions that reduced cost and improved reliability. Earlier roles include ownership of Broadcom’s widely deployed tg3 Linux network driver and embedded/real-time systems work at Infinera and Ixia, reflecting deep expertise across kernel, drivers, networking, and storage stacks. Known for mentoring teams, codifying best practices, and moving patches upstream, he blends hands-on debugging of critical field issues with architectural roadmap decisions and patent work. His background (M.S. Computer Science, Texas A&M) and habit of pairing kernel-level optimization with pragmatic engineering—like virtual NVMe platforms and pmdk-based memory tuning—set him apart as a practical systems architect who still writes and reviews production code.
