Jens Axboe, born around 1976 in Odense, Denmark, is a Linux kernel developer known for his work maintaining the kernel's block layer, including creating the Completely Fair Queueing I/O scheduler. He has worked as a software engineer at Oracle, at Fusion-io from 2010, and at Facebook since 2014. Wikipedia's own lead on him is short, and this description stays honest to that rather than padding past it.
