I am contracting to IBM as a GPFS (now called Spectrum Scale) file system specialist within a team that is responsible for the development and support of high end large scale HPC computing environments running on P775 (p7IH) clusters running both AIX and Linux operating systems. These systems are using the GPFS Native Raid (GNR) capability to provide a.

I took a personal sabbatical for the purposes of both professional and personal renewal and now that I've completed it I can say without hesitation that I achieved the goals I set for myself when starting it.During this time I augmented my object orientated programming experience in C++ by learning Java, reading various programming books including topics.

I had several roles on the GPFS (aka Spectrum Scale) team over the 14 years that I was a member. First as a test team member testing the product in it's entirety, then I fulfilled the role of "device qualification"​ working with IBM and third party (EMC, HDS) device vendors to ensure disk subsystem readiness to work properly with the multi-node/multi-OS.
