I am a Principal Computer Scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and active in the open source community. I specialize in container technologies and High Performance Computing (HPC), infrastructure development, and cloud convergence. I actively maintain more projects than I can count in this space, and am oriented to lead work and initiatives that will better bridge the cloud and HPC communities. I received my Ph.D and M.S. in Biomedical Informatics from Stanford University, and my B.A. from Duke University. Previously I worked in Research Computing at Stanford University at the SRCC, and was lead developer for Singularity Hub, and one of the initial developers for the Singularity container technology. I also founded and ran RSE Services (Research Software Engineering Services), created the first Stanford Software Survey, and supported laboratories in the School of Medicine. In 2019 I created the (now) Developer Stories podcast, and continue to host and produce it to present day.
As a graduate student my work spanned computer science, medicine, and imaging. I was a proud member of the Poldrack Lab at Stanford. Our work spanned neuro-informatics, cognitive neuroscience, and reproducibility. I was introduced to the domain of neuroimaging as an RA in the Laboratory of Neurogenetics at Duke University working under Ahmad Hariri.
The qualities of experience that are most fulfilling to me are making things work, organizing and understanding new processes, and creating efficiency and beauty in design. I love learning, programming and debugging, and I have vision for how I want the future to be. I am adamant about pursuing the things that make me happy, today and now. A successful life means confidence in a future vision and happiness in the present.
