Oguzhan Ozmen is a Senior Software Engineer in New York with a strong focus on distributed storage systems and three years of experience in industry roles complemented by a long academic and R&D background. He has driven reliability and feature work on large-scale storage platforms—from Bloomberg’s distributed storage infrastructure to Dell EMC’s VPlex virtualization product—contributing core C/C++ and Python expertise in areas like SCSI, I/O forwarding, and non-disruptive upgrades. His open-source contributions to the Ceph Rados Gateway highlight practical experience improving object storage reliability and test coverage for a widely used distributed storage project. Comfortable spanning low-level kernel and device interactions to system architecture and automation, he brings a research-hardened approach to root-cause analysis and performance-oriented design. Having built tools for I/O workload characterization and storage layout optimization during his PhD work, he often applies analytical, simulation-driven methods to production reliability problems.
