Foliage is a platform and a new method to code Control Plane applications for various environments ranging from data center facility to distributed Edge, Machine Learning and its data.The goal of Foliage is to simplify the complexity of IT infrastructure management and bring a new standard for the cooperation between different domains and technologies.

Proven technology evangelist with a track record of identifying new business opportunities and acquiring new market niches for computation and storage products, from HPC data centers to distributed edge platforms. Led multidisciplinary R&D teams in the HPC field. Frequent attendee of both Supercomputing (SC) and International Supercomputing (ISC) conferences, gaining extensive knowledge and networking opportunities in the field.

Lead software research in the RnD department. Participating in a hardware and architecture research for cutting-edge HPC systems. I'm proud to participate in designing software stack and overall architecture for the record-breaking RSC PetaStream hardware platform which kept for years a world record for energy density (more than 400 kW per a computational cabinet) based on the Intel Xeon Phi processor architecture.Another jewel in RSC product line is a composable disaggregated data storage system based both on unique hardware design of RSC Tornado servers and flexible software management system RSC BasIS. We got 9th place in the IO500 ranking by 2018 (now there are 4 systems in the IO500 list).

Formed and led software development and implementation teams.A lot of hand-on experience in deploying and managing Top500-scale HPC clusters. HPC Linpack guru.Deep knowledge of managing compute (SLURM, OpenStack), storage (GPFS, Lustre, Panasas, DDN) and networking (Infiniband, OmniPath) aspects of HPC clusters.Gave birth to the in-house HPC Software Stack.

Expertise in information security solutions, certification, audit, network building and security. Successfully implemented solutions, conducted audits, built pilot sites and participated in procurement tenders.

In the Department of Computer Graphics and Special Effects, I was responsible for managing all IT operations, including recruitment, sourcing and procuring computer systems, storage systems, network equipment, and software products. Successfully transitioned most of the company's information solutions to free software and integrated them into a single environment, resulting in cost savings and simplification of IT maintenance.

Administration of heterogeneous, high-speed networks, render farms and storage systems.

The first Russian film company to switch to fully digital production of feature films.Administration of SAN systems and Xserve render farms for complex VFX environments.
