Work

My expertise spans key-value stores, storage systems, data indexing and system performance. I am passionate about building fast, secure, and reliable systems software to improve the foundation of data-intensive applications. Occasionally, I am fortunate to get some academic papers published.

Back in the summer of 2022, I worked as a research intern in the storage team at Cockroach Labs.
