Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYang Zhan is a software engineer and kernel specialist with 10 years of experience building filesystems, drivers, and memory management for projects ranging from academic storage research to production NAS at ByteDance. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UNC Chapel Hill and has contributed to research on external-memory data structures, write-optimized file systems, and in-kernel optimizations at leading labs including VMware and AT&T Labs. At Huawei he worked on micro-kernel subsystems—block device and MTD frameworks, JFFS2, and memory management—bringing deep low-level expertise to large-scale storage problems. He combines rigorous research instincts with production engineering, often focusing on performance-sensitive, write-optimized storage and full-path indexing techniques that few kernel engineers master. Based in Pudong, Shanghai, he blends academic rigor with practical system design, now applying that background to NAS and storage infrastructure at ByteDance.
