Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolVadim Agarkov is a Senior Principal Software Engineer with over 23 years of hands-on experience building low-level storage and file-system software for Linux and Windows, currently driving reliability and Kubernetes migration work on Dell’s ObjectScale and ECS platforms. He combines deep systems expertise—C/C++, kernel file system filter and block device drivers, SCSI/iSCSI, MPIO and x86 assembly—with pragmatic architecture and CI-focused tooling to speed adoption of new hardware and extend test coverage via simulators. At Dell/EMC he led redesigns that replaced vendor-specific enclosure management with SES, implemented secure containerized firewall subsystems, and ported critical IO services to Kubernetes while troubleshooting root-cause performance issues at the IO stack’s lowest level. Comfortable leading small distributed teams, he pairs meticulous, maintainable code with creative problem-solving and a track record of prototyping to avoid costly hardware dependencies. Based in Ireland, he also brings formal project management training that complements his deep technical instincts—often surfacing engineering solutions (like templatized configs and simulators) that are invisible to customers but essential for large-scale product reliability.
