Summary
Aaron Patten is a senior software engineer and veteran solutions architect with over two decades of hands-on experience designing and automating edge and core datacenter solutions, especially across VMware, Kubernetes, and bare-metal infrastructures. He has a track record of turning blank racks into fully functional clusters via extensive Ansible playbooks and automation stacks that deploy complex application bundles like MongoDB and Cassandra in minutes. Previously a Principal Solutions Architect at Nebulon and now at NVIDIA working on DGX Cloud, he blends customer-facing product advocacy with deep platform engineering and lab/demo management. Aaron regularly authors product documentation, solutions guides, and tutorials, and acts as an internal “customer 0” to shape feature specifications with engineering. He’s equally comfortable in storage performance tuning, VDI and HCI architectures, and modern distributed app deployments on Nebulon hardware—an uncommon mix that makes him a strong bridge between field, product, and engineering teams. Based in Durham, NC, his current interests span full-stack automation, AI/ML, edge computing and hybrid-cloud.
