HPC & GPU Infrastructure Engineer at MSD operating Slurm clusters for research and AI/ML workloads.

India
Message

At MSD, I operate production HPC clusters on AWS ParallelCluster and Slurm for research teams working in CryoEM, computational chemistry, AI/ML, and data science. I manage GPU nodes, parallel storage, and EFA networking for scientific and training workloads.

I built an observability stack with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Mimir, Loki, and Grafana, adding dashboards and alerts for Slurm, storage, and GPU utilization. I also automated infrastructure provisioning with Terraform and GitHub Actions and node configuration with Bash and Python.

At Clovertex, I led the design and operation of ParallelCluster and Slurm environments integrated with WEKA and Lustre for pharmaceutical clients. I also deployed scientific applications and data-science platforms, and built repeatable infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.

Across these roles, I’ve tuned scheduling and storage, benchmarked scientific workloads, and supported secure, reliable HPC platforms. My certifications include AWS, Terraform, WEKA, and KNIME administration.
