HPC CTO at CSRA

•	Developed a reference model to provide onsite HPC as a Service (HPCaaS) for compute using any vendors equipment, including HPC Storage as a Service and HPC Archive as a Service. The rate card included for Compute: node wall clock hours, Storage: GB/Month on disk, Archive: GB/Month on tape. Using a CSC partner a rate card was also developed for offsite HPCaaS.
•	Valued team member in major proposals (NASA, NOAA, DoD)  in CSC winning 4 HPC service contracts valued over $1 billion.
•	Identify technical areas where the HPC  can develop & promote HPC solution sets.  
•	Promote HPC to external organizations.
•	Enhance the communication and collaboration across the HPC organization.

HPC Technical Director

First US site  to beat the Japan's Earth Simulator  in 1/10 the staff, cost and time.  As each system arrived it was in production within 1 week.   The full 20 systems were deployed from purchase to last system in production was less than 4 months.   At the time it was the second fastest system in the world (TOP500).
