  Distinguished Engineer - IBM Quantum System Software Architect

  As the IBM Quantum System Software Architect, I am responsible for the design of the software infrastructure for IBM’s commercial quantum computing offerings. These offerings give clients access to the first commercial available, and industry leading general-purpose quantum systems, enabling them develop algorithms and applications that will move them into the next era of computing, tackling problems that classical computers struggle to solve.Previously I was the Cluster Test Architect for the IBM System p family of computers, recognized as an expert in high performance Unix clusters My expertise encompasses the entire horizon of high performance computing: SANs, parallel file systems, parallel computation, cluster system management, server hardware and high performance communication interconnects. I have played a key role in architecting tests for some of the world’s largest supercomputers, including ASCI Purple and BlueGene/L, and in the process created innovative test techniques enabling large scale testing with dramatically reduced costs, better test coverage, and improved time to market.
