Matt McDonald is responsible for product development, quality assurance, and release engineering at Nasuni.

Matt is a data storage expert and owns a number of patents related to distributed object storage. Upon joining Nasuni in 2010 as part of the architecture team, he designed and developed the backbone of the Nasuni UniFS global file system. Before Nasuni, he was a Lead Architect and Development Group Manager at Archivas through its acquisition by Hitachi Data Systems. Archivas is now the basis for the Hitachi Content Platform (HCP).

Matt began his career in Data General’s CLARiiON group, which was acquired by EMC. From the EMC CLARiiON group, he moved to the EMC Centera group, where he helped build one of the first large-scale distributed object storage systems, tackling various technical challenges related to storing large numbers of objects.

With an infant at home and a passion for delivering the next generation of file storage, Matt is still trying to find time for a round of golf. He has a BS degree in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts Lowell and an MBA degree from Babson College.
