About Amit Garg

Technology leader and system software architect with 20+ years of experience designing and scaling high-performance storage systems and distributed infrastructure. My work spans the full storage stack — from low-level firmware and drivers to cloud-scale object storage virtualization and consensus algorithms. At Uber I serve as the technical lead for TerraBlob a mission-critical multi-cloud object storage platform managing 200+ PiB of data 100K+ RPS and billions of operations daily. I’ve led major initiatives to scale optimize and evolve the system — including cost-saving cloud migrations metadata lifecycle automation and feature development to support hundreds of teams. Previously I enhanced vSAN cluster resiliency at VMware through distributed consensus optimization led next-gen block storage architecture at Riverbed and designed a high-throughput deduplication engine at Violin Memory. I specialize in: Storage Infrastructure: Block & object storage replication deduplication virtualization Performance Optimization: IO tuning NUMA-aware processing multi-threaded systems memory management Distributed Systems: Scale-out architectures KV stores consensus protocols Passionate about building infrastructure that is resilient efficient and built to scale.
