I am a Software Developer at IBM working on system software for all scales of on-prem and cloud-based HPC systems with the Spectrum MPI team. I have a broad range of interests in the industry including (but certainly not limited to) high-performance computing libraries (e.g., MPI, PMIx), cloud ecosystems (e.g., Red Hat OpenStack, Kubernetes), containerization (e.g., Podman, Docker), scheduler & runtime systems (e.g., LSF, Slurm), scientific computing, and AI/DL/ML workflows.

I received my B.A. degree in Computer Science from Earlham College where I was inspired to pursue high-performance computing and computing for the common good. I received my M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Indiana University where I worked primarily on fault tolerance in the Open MPI project. I have held internships at multiple national laboratories (LANL, LBNL, ORNL) during graduate school, spent two years as a post-doctoral researcher at ORNL, and four years as an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse before joining IBM to work on the CORAL pre-exascale supercomputers currently running at ORNL and LLNL. Those CORAL systems support a broad portfolio of scientific endeavors including, most recently, the fight against COVID-19.
