Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKeira Adams is a Senior Software Engineer based in Portland, Oregon with a decade of experience building and researching distributed storage, computational storage, and AI support systems from application-level stacks down to device characteristics. She holds a PhD in Computer Science and has blended research rigor with production engineering across roles at Intel Labs, Seagate, and now Apple, driving architectural changes like scalable metadata backends, pluggable handlers, and horizontal scale-out for complex systems. Her work spans design and implementation of high-availability services, workload-driven optimizations, and testbed-driven performance analysis, with hands-on contributions to OpenStack Swift integrations and VDMS vector query pipelines. Keira routinely bridges technical and non-technical responsibilities—authoring papers, managing collaborations and contractors, and drafting statements of work—so she can translate research insight into deployable, auditable systems. Colleagues rely on her ability to see end-to-end system behavior and find non-obvious I/O and data-layout levers that materially improve efficiency and scale.
