Summary
Andrew Wack is a Distinguished Engineer and IBM Quantum System Software Architect with decades of experience designing software infrastructure for commercial quantum systems and large-scale high-performance computing. He led architecture and innovative test strategies for world-class supercomputers (including ASCI Purple and BlueGene/L) and scaled cluster testing to reduce costs and time-to-market. Comfortable bridging academia and industry, he earned a PhD in Computer Science and has taught at the university level while driving production deployments at IBM. Known for synthesizing established skills with emerging technologies, he blends deep expertise in SANs, parallel file systems, cluster management, and interconnects with agile delivery practices. Based in Millbrook, New York, he continues to help clients develop quantum algorithms and applications that address problems beyond classical computing’s reach. An often-overlooked strength is his history of turning heavyweight research and test methods into pragmatic, repeatable engineering processes.
