I am a computer scientist, engineer, entrepreneur, parent and I still like to think I am a windsurfer, but as time goes on that becomes less true. I have a PhD in computer architecture from the University of Cambridge and I worked in the semiconductor industry before founding Ellexus in 2010. Ellexus is the I/O profiling company and we made monitoring and profiling tools for supercomputers. We were acquired by Altair in 2020 and merged with the High-Performance Computing division there.

I am now chief scientist for HPC at Altair, responsible for the future roadmap of workload managers Altair® PBS Professional and Altair Grid Engine. I also continues to manage the Ellexus I/O profiling tools, Altair Breeze and Altair Mistral and other analytics and reporting solutions across our HPC portfolio. Outside of my day job I am a member of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, an educational charity that promotes access to technology education and digital making.
