Principal Engineer, System Architecture
Samsung Semiconductor
My name is Somnath Roy and presently I am working as Principle engineer in Samsung Memory Solution Lab. I have more than 18 years of experience in different areas of ever evolving storage stack. I also have several years of experience on building and performance architecting private cloud solutions built upon distributed Object Storage. My accomplishments includes multiple patents in storage fields and contribution to some of the popular distributed object store like CEPH, MinIO. Presently, at Samsung we are working on building a distributed disaggregated object storage solution with industry leading performance that can potentially serve very high READ bandwidth requirement of AI training workload at multi PB scale environment.
