Cluster answers when members disagree
Named inventorship on cluster request satisfaction when storage members disagree.
Work
Proof you can check.
Patents, QA metrics, sample sites, and lab work. Capability from production systems — not a résumé dump.
~2,000 → 0
Coverity findings driven to zero
Drove Coverity findings to zero while building NFS caches, NDMP APIs, and online data verification.
200+ machines
Test farm that collapsed cycle time
Kubernetes/VMware/Docker parallel test subsystem that collapsed total test cycle time.
100% pass
Protocol suites that pass
Python/C automation for ARP, IGMP/MLD, and application firewall suites for enterprise networks.
LLVM + Z3
Check-in tests that bar a bad commit
Git check-in tests that barred detected source errors and automated release artifacts to Debian.
24 defects fixed
Firmware that failed closed again
dsPIC33 fuel-pump control: 23 call-chain errors plus interrupt priority restored.
Control plane
Grok in the product, not beside it
Manufacturer Grok Assistant, AutoGrok book loops, CrossWord-grok 4.5, and Grok Imagine publishing.
LiveView + edge
A fleet console, not snowflake SSH
Phoenix console, MQTT bus, Nerves simulation, and ESP-IDF nodes — real-time fleet architecture.
Systems lab
Deep tech R&D (not commercial GA)
ArkFS
Temporal distributed filesystem R&D (Elixir + Rust): never-delete history, simulation harness. Lab capability — not commercial GA.
ConnectUs
Greenfield Rust kernel experiments: cooperative memory, ArkFS, dual-stack networking, multi-arch including ESP.
