Developing the new platform for ML/AI research and leading the collaboration between systems and R&D teams to provide a coherent approach to research computing for the research community

Lausanne Area, Switzerland

Introducing modern scientific computing to the UNIL and establishing the first university wide HPC facilities. Responsible for systems architecture, configuration and operations as well as developing the scientific software stack

I'm taking a few months off to spend time in the mountains - normal service will be resumed towards the end of the year.

I provide expertise in devops, system and application performance tuning, parallel filesystems, batch systems, high performance networking and the bits of high performance computing that you really don't want to know about but that someone has to understand. I'm involved in developing build systems for both internal tools and scientific software so as to make our environment reliable and performant.I'm also technical lead for HPC procurement for the EPFL - from federal procurement law… Show more I provide expertise in devops, system and application performance tuning, parallel filesystems, batch systems, high performance networking and the bits of high performance computing that you really don't want to know about but that someone has to understand. I'm involved in developing build systems for both internal tools and scientific software so as to make our environment reliable and performant.I'm also technical lead for HPC procurement for the EPFL - from federal procurement law to public tenders and frame contracts as well as putting in place the commissioning and acceptance tests to ensure that multi-million CHF systems are chosen correctly, delivered on time and perform successfullyWhen not doing the above I can be found teaching postgraduates and researchers as well as presenting the EPFL to industry and academia.

"How we learnt to stop worrying and love the cloud"Part of the team that introduced the internal cloud at CERN and helped migrate from the LEP era legacy tools to the bright (or agile) new future. In addition I was responsible for LHC grid workflow management software and liaison between the central services and the LHCb experiment.

As a team of three we put in place the general purpose HPC service for the University of Edinburgh. Before there was nothing - now things are running nicely.
