Summary
👤
SeniorPaul Forgey is a Senior Staff Engineer with over 25 years of systems experience and a deep focus on networking and storage servers, currently driving infrastructure and protocol work at Warner Bros. Discovery. He specializes in designing low-maintenance, hardware-adjacent code architecture and has led major refactors and protocol implementations across SMB, NFS, HDFS and kernel/user-space interfaces. His background spans startups and enterprise — from building embedded network appliances and DNS/DHCP systems to architecting storage protocol layers at Dell EMC and a clean SMB2 client in Go at Igneous — showing both product delivery and low-level systems craft. Known for improving performance through redesign (e.g., async subsystem and locking/threading overhauls) and for pragmatic tooling like REST-based admin interfaces, he blends systems thinking with practical operational awareness. Based in Seattle, he brings a hands-on approach to complex distributed storage problems and a lasting hobbyist interest in assembly and embedded projects that informs his efficiency-minded designs.
