About

I’m Deepanshu Kartikey, a Performance Engineer at Clickpost working on the platform team. I go deep into systems to make them faster.

Outside of work I contribute to the Linux kernel — fixing bugs in filesystems (ext4, ntfs3, ocfs2, f2fs, gfs2, btrfs, romfs), memory management (hugetlbfs, mm/thp, mm/slub, mm/vmalloc, mm/memfd), networking (atm/lec, net/nfc, net/usb, wifi/mac80211), and core subsystems (kernel/fork, bpf, block, iommufd, comedi, tracing). Most of my bugs come from syzbot.

All my merged patches are on the kernel.org git log.
