Omkar Gawde is a software engineer with eight years of experience building storage and systems software across industry and academic settings, now contributing at Facebook in the San Francisco Bay Area. He holds an MS in Information Networking from Carnegie Mellon and has practical depth from roles at Nutanix, EMC Isilon, and research on Shingled Magnetic Recording at CMU’s Parallel Data Lab. His background combines hands-on product work—shipping enterprise storage features—with teaching experience as a graduate TA for computer systems and storage courses. Comfortable in both research-driven environments and large-scale production teams, he bridges low-level systems design and pragmatic engineering. A detail that sets him apart is his continuity from academic SMR research to deploying storage solutions in enterprise products, showing an uncommon end-to-end perspective on storage technology.
