Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSaurabh Tandan is a distributed systems and infrastructure engineer with a decade of experience building and hardening storage and test frameworks for large-scale systems. He has driven testing infrastructure and performance validation for DAOS at Intel, contributing extensive unit and integration tests that improved reliability for NVMe and PMEM-backed storage stacks. Now at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, he brings deep expertise in storage testing tools (ior, mdtest, fio, dbench) and a practical background in Lustre and object storage performance. His work often bridges hands-on test automation, performance benchmarking, and subtle protocol behaviors—skills honed by instrumenting asynchronous container operations and pool services. Based in Chandler, Arizona, he pairs advanced systems knowledge with a strong academic foundation (MS in Software Engineering) and a track record of turning complex storage behaviors into reproducible test suites. An eye for testability and robustness distinguishes him: he not only finds bugs but builds the scaffolding that prevents them from recurring.
