Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlan Geller is a seasoned technology and sales professional with a multi-decade career bridging systems engineering, telemetry for military test ranges, and high-performance computing sales to DOE and defense customers. Beginning as the only uniformed member of the Pentagon’s telemetry board in the 1960s and later designing logic systems at Philco-Ford, he pivoted to lead commercial supercomputer sales and business development for CDC, Cray/SGI, HP and QLogic across domestic and overseas markets. He combines deep technical understanding of complex instrumentation and computing with proven commercial leadership and account management for mission-critical government programs. More recently he has contributed to open-source projects—improving QCoDeS documentation and refining quantum algorithm libraries—demonstrating continued hands-on engagement with modern tooling. Based in Redwood City, he balances consulting and creative pursuits, bringing a rare mix of legacy systems expertise and contemporary developer-facing contributions.
