• Converged Cloud and HPC Infrastructures: Successfully integrated Kubernetes with existing Slurm clusters, enabling researchers to run Kubernetes applications on powerful HPC sites. Received recognition from two PRACE datacenters; • Hybrid Workflows: Blending Shared FS and Object Storage: Developed distributed workflows that seamlessly combined MPI-based simulations with cloud-based data analysis. The computation was based on a shared filesystem, and object storage acting as an intermediate repository facilitated the seamless data movement between on-premises systems and cloud-based resources • Kubernetes-Based Testing Automation Platform: Implemented a scalable framework for the automated performance and resilience testing of complex distributed systems on Kubernetes (https://frisbee.dev}). Received recognition from Fortune 50 industry peers for the platform's innovative design; • Kubernetes-Based Emulator for IoT Environments: Engineered a Kubernetes emulator that replicated the complexities of tiered IoT networks, enabling researchers to simulate diverse real-world scenarios, such as geo-distributed storage systems; • Translating Vision into EU Proposals: Led multidisciplinary teams in brainstorming and requirement-gathering sessions to craft comprehensive EU project proposals. As of today, I have led the preparation of three proposals in the domains of AI medicine, Earth Observation, and Cloud-to-Edge Continuum. • Contribute patches to Singularity/Apptainer for signing images with X509 certificates, and performing Online revocation checks via OCSP protocol. • Tactical member of MedPerf Working Group (Open Benchmarking Platform for Medical Artificial Intelligence using Federated Evaluation) Show less
