Summary
Ujjwal Lanjewar is a Senior Staff Engineer with over 25 years of deep specialization in storage, distributed file systems, and cloud object storage, currently advancing Google Cloud BigQuery and Cloud Storage. He combines hands-on systems programming in C/C++ and Python with architecture-level design of scale-out object stores, S3/NFS gateways, parallel data movers, and resilient storage RAS features. His career spans leadership roles at Seagate, IBM, and startups where he built end-to-end storage products, led federated namespace and persistent caching efforts, and architected cloud-native deployments on Kubernetes. Notably, he has bridged low-level kernel protocols (NFS, pNFS, CIFS) and high-level cloud APIs (Swift, S3, CDMI), plus experience with VSS and application-consistent snapshot management. Based in Pune, he pairs academic rigor (M.E. in System Software) with practical delivery—including patents, published tools, and contributions to open-source federated file system projects.
