Top SchoolTodd Gill is a Principal Software Engineer based in Cambridge, MA with over three decades of hands-on experience designing and shipping storage and infrastructure software. He was a founding member of Red Hat’s Stratis project, implementing core thin-provisioning, XFS integration, and D-Bus APIs in a production Rust daemon, and has a strong track record of upstream contributions to Linux storage tooling. Prior roles at EMC and Fidelity highlight his ability to invent product-facing management tools, lead cross-functional teams, and translate low-level device behavior into robust user-facing systems. Todd combines deep systems-level expertise in C, Go, and Rust with practical delivery experience in Java and orchestration (Ansible, systemd), and has driven features that enable bootable snapshots and real-time topology visualization. Notably, he pairs pragmatic engineering leadership with an eye for developer-friendly interfaces and tooling that simplify complex storage lifecycles.
