I need a custom Windows kernel-mode driver that improves overall system performance, with a clear emphasis on faster disk I/O and smarter network throughput. The goal is to shorten latency and increase sustained transfer rates for database-heavy workloads running on NTFS volumes over typical Ethernet or Wi-Fi links. Scope of work • Build a signed kernel driver compatible with Windows 10/11 (both x64 and ARM64 if practical). • Implement queueing, caching, or scheduling techniques that cut disk seek times and boost random read/write operations without risking data integrity. • Introduce packet-handling logic that prioritises small, frequent database calls and minimises retransmits or buffer bloat on congested links. • Provide a lightweight user-mode control panel or CLI for enabling/disabling the optimisations and adjusting any tunables. • Supply full source code, build scripts, and concise documentation covering installation, rollback, and interaction with existing storage or network filter stacks. Acceptance criteria 1. Measurable reduction in average disk access latency (CrystalDiskMark or similar) on the same hardware before vs. after driver install. 2. Noticeable improvement in SQL query throughput on a sample database (we can agree on the benchmark). 3. No BSODs or reproducible system errors after 72 hours of stress testing with Driver Verifier enabled. 4. Clean compile with /W4 in Visual Studio, passes static analysis, and is signed for secure boot. Please share any relevant past driver work or references to storage/network stack experience when you respond.

Hello, I understand you’re looking for an experienced Windows kernel developer to build a custom kernel-mode driver that improves disk I/O latency and network throughput for database-heavy workloads on Windows 10/11. I have hands-on experience working close to the Windows storage and networking stacks, focusing on performance optimization while maintaining system stability, data integrity, and compliance with Microsoft driver requirements. I would approach this by designing a tightly scoped kernel driver that integrates cleanly with existing NTFS, storage filter, and NDIS layers rather than bypassing them. On the storage side, this includes intelligent request scheduling, I/O coalescing, and safe caching strategies to improve random read/write performance. On the networking side, I focus on prioritization of latency-sensitive traffic, smarter buffer handling, and throughput optimization without introducing retransmission or congestion issues. All work would be validated with Driver Verifier and sustained stress testing. You will receive a signed kernel driver (x64, ARM64 if feasible), full source code and build scripts, a lightweight user-mode control interface for tuning, and concise documentation covering installation, rollback, and usage. The end result will demonstrate measurable performance gains using agreed benchmarks, while remaining stable, auditable, and production-safe. Thanks Asif

Hello, I have reviewed the details of your project. i can develop the kernel-mode driver in c using windows driver kit targeting windows 10 and 11 on x64, with arm64 considered if testing confirms feasibility. disk optimisations will focus on smarter io queuing and caching policies to reduce seek times and improve random read/write throughput on ntfs volumes. network improvements will prioritize small frequent packets typical for database workloads, using lightweight packet scheduling and buffer management to reduce retransmits and minimize congestion impact. a small user-mode control panel in c# will allow toggling optimizations and adjusting basic parameters, and a command line interface will provide quick access for power users. full source code and build scripts will be delivered along with concise documentation for installation, rollback, and interactions with existing storage and network filter drivers. Let's have a detailed discussion, as it will help me give you a complete plan, including a timeline and estimated budget. I will share my portfolio in chat I look forward to hear from you. Thanks Best Regards, Mughira

Hi Boss, Straight to the point. I can and I will design a signed Windows kernel-mode driver that works with the storage and network filter stacks, focusing on lower disk I/O latency and smarter packet prioritisation for database workloads. The approach will be safe, measurable, and verifier-clean, with full rollback and tuning controls. You’ll get: Windows 10/11 kernel driver (x64, ARM64 if feasible) Disk I/O scheduling/caching optimisations without data risk Network traffic prioritisation for small, frequent DB calls Simple CLI or control panel for tuning Full source, build scripts, docs, and signed binaries I have experience with Windows internals, kernel drivers, and performance-critical systems, and I design with Driver Verifier and long stress runs in mind. If you want real gains without BSODs, I’m ready to move forward.

Hey there, Are you open to documented Windows filter drivers only (Storport/Minifilter for storage, WFP for networking), or do you expect hooks deeper than supported stacks? What workload should we optimize first for the benchmark, random I/O on NTFS or mixed read write with small block sizes, and which DB engine will you use for validation? I’ve worked on Windows low-level performance projects where the biggest gains come from doing less work in the kernel, not more. On modern Windows, safe wins usually come from a well-designed storage minifilter that improves request coalescing and read-ahead decisions, plus a WFP-based network filter that prioritizes latency-sensitive flows without touching packet payloads or bypassing the stack. We’ll baseline with CrystalDiskMark and a repeatable DB benchmark, then validate improvements on the same hardware. If ARM64 is required, we can scope that once x64 is solid. Hope to discuss more on chat. Best Kirill
