Lugano, Ticino, Switzerland
As the Head of Engineering at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), I lead a talented group of team leads, fostering innovation in high-performance computing and artificial intelligence. I oversee the development and resource allocation for diverse teams, including identity management, scientific applications development, and infrastructure services. I manage a multi-million Swiss franc budget and collaborate with senior architects and the director to guide strategic technological initiatives. My research in network performance modelling, resource management, and the convergence of HPC and cloud computing is published in top conferences and journals in the field, underscoring my commitment to advancing both operational and research excellence.
Lead multiple team leads to deliver on engineering solutions. Manage resources, budgets and risks. Lead senior architects towards innovative technology. Write proposals and assist execution of key projects.
Lead architect for bringing Cloud abstractions into HPC. Identity and Access Management work group lead. Project Manager of EU funded projects: Maestro, EuroCC.
Research in the future systems group on performance modelling, resource management optimization, container and orchestration.
Lead a 5-engineer team optimizing high-scale subsurface reservoir simulators for HPC. I balance hands-on development with strategic oversight to deliver high-accuracy, mission-critical simulation tools for the Research & Exploration department.
Modernized and scaled a subsurface reservoir simulator for HPC platforms by refactoring legacy code including MPI and SIMD intrinsics. Developed specialized performance libraries to optimize computational kernels of the main solver.
Engineered high-performance memory allocation solutions optimized for NUMA and ccNUMA architectures. Designed and tuned custom allocators to minimize remote memory latency and cache coherence overhead in complex, multi-socket computing environments.
PhD in HPC Performance Modeling, completed in partnership with INRIA and Bull Atos. Expert in developing predictive models to enhance the efficiency and scalability of complex applications on world-class supercomputing platforms.
I developed a comprehensive system for managing broadcast-related data flow designing and implementing a solution to ensure seamless data integration, processing, and storage across various departments. My work focused on optimizing data handling processes, enhancing data accessibility and reliability, and improving overall operational efficiency. This work was part of the Volontariat International en Entreprise (VIE) program.
