• Enhanced Nebulon Operating System (NebOS) to populate a boot lun with an OS image using Network Block Device (NBD) module in Storage Performance Development kit (SPDK)

• Enhanced NBD data transfers to be fault tolerant and complete successfully when NebOS or other key processes were restarted

• Fixed a problem in the Linux kernel NBD driver which caused SPDK process to hang if restarted during a data transfer using NBD

• Implemented API command to encrypt/decrypt data using ARM crypto engines

• Implemented SCSI2 Reserve and Release in SPDK

• Improved performance in the NebOS

• Analyzed and modified skiplist to optimize insertions and search

• Used GoAsm to implement AMD64 and ARM64 assembly functions to improve performance by replacing C-Go calls

• Added low, medium, and high priority channels for iorequests

• Modified SPDK to fill the NebOS request ring which helped identify bottlenecks in NebOS and improve IOPs and request latency

• Implemented SCSI Write Same and enhanced Xcopy in SPDK

• Designed and implemented a Go logging package utilizing the Uber Zap logger which improved performance by approximately 20%

• Enhanced the Go debugger, Delve, by adding functions that walk and display NebOS data structures and provide stack traces

• Wrote a Python script that created read only snapshots of exported LUNs, identified the file system type, and obtained usage information
