Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTamar Shacked is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of focused experience in C/C++ server-side development on Linux, currently contributing to storage software at VAST Data. She has deep expertise in GlusterFS—maintaining its DHT component and contributing bug fixes, xattr handling, rebalance logic and security hardening for a widely used open-source distributed filesystem. Comfortable across RHEL, bash, Python and Docker, Tamar combines low-level protocol knowledge (TCP/IP, SCSI, TLS/SSL, SIP) with strong Linux administration skills to ship reliable, production-grade storage features. Her background includes long tenures in telecom and enterprise software (Comverse, RADVISION, IBM, Avaya, Forcepoint, Red Hat), which gives her a pragmatic edge in stabilizing complex, distributed server code. Notably, her commits show a pattern of addressing subtle correctness and static-analysis-identified vulnerabilities, reflecting a focus on maintainability and safety in critical storage subsystems.
