Summary
Steve Crusan is a seasoned Linux HPC and storage engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience designing, tuning, and troubleshooting scale-out storage for supercomputing and cloud environments. He’s worked at national labs, financial trading firms, and commercial storage vendors, handling multi-petabyte GPFS/Lustre deployments and supporting thousands of compute nodes. Equally comfortable writing Go and Python as he is digging into kernel- and filesystem-level issues, he prefers talking directly with users to understand and solve their real-world problems. Known for blunt humour about distributed storage, Steve pairs pragmatic engineering with deep operational experience across on-prem and cloud HPC offerings. Based in Houston, he brings a rare blend of L3 troubleshooting rigor and architecture-level thinking to demanding, performance-sensitive systems.
