Michael W. "Mike" Shapiro is an American computer programmer known for his work in operating systems and enterprise storage at Sun Microsystems, Oracle, and EMC.

While working at Sun Microsystems as a Distinguished Engineer, Mike invented and authored pgrep, the Modular Debugger (MDB), DTrace, fault management and diagnosis, and other utilities and subsystems for Sun's Solaris operating system.[1]

Shapiro and the DTrace team received a Technology Innovation Award and Overall Gold Medal for Innovation for DTrace from the Wall Street Journal in 2006.[2] DTrace was also recognized by USENIX with the Software Tools User Group (STUG) award in 2008.[3]

Starting in 2006, Shapiro led Sun's engineering effort to build a commercial storage product using Solaris and Sun's ZFS filesystem, launched in 2008.[4] After Oracle acquired Sun, Shapiro served as Vice President for Storage, managing the engineering organization for all storage products.

Shapiro announced his departure from Oracle in a 2010 blog posting,[5] and was revealed several years later as a member of the founding team of DSSD when EMC purchased the startup.[6] Mike developed the DSSD software architecture with fellow Sun engineer Jeff Bonwick and served as DSSD's Vice President for Software.

Now at EMC, Shapiro is also a co-author of the NVM Express storage protocol.[7]
