Benjamin Carr is a Senior Infrastructure Engineer with a decade of experience bridging biological science and cloud-native HPC to accelerate research and drug discovery. He combines a PhD-level background in marine and computational biology with hands-on DevOps and cloud-first infrastructure work at Sana and AstraZeneca, supporting large-scale scientific compute environments with GPUs and accelerators. Ben is equally comfortable as a vessel chief scientist or an enterprise engineer, having run oceanographic operations, built HPC platforms, and led community engagement and SCRUM practices. A long-time open-source contributor across projects like Galaxy, Homebrew, and Docker-for-Mac, he translates domain science into reproducible, scalable tooling. Based in Ithaca, NY, he brings rare interdisciplinary fluency that helps scientists, CIOs, and policy makers communicate and deliver production-ready research infrastructure.
