Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAaron Tomlin is a Linux systems engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience specialising in kernel internals, x86-64 micro-architecture and deterministic low-latency trading infrastructure. He has a proven track record contributing to the mainline Linux kernel and routinely applies advanced tracing and observability tools (perf, ftrace, eBPF, SystemTap) to extract microsecond-level performance and resolve thorny kernel bottlenecks. At Millennium and Morgan Stanley he served as the SME bridging hardware and quant/trading applications, tuning NUMA, schedulers, syscalls and user-space bypass techniques for mission-critical equities systems. His background at Red Hat honed deep post-mortem and vmcore forensics using crash, GDB and drgn, so he excels at reproducible root-cause analysis across software and hardware stacks. Beyond day-to-day tuning, he authors detailed playbooks and bespoke eBPF tooling to elevate team observability and operational rigor.
