Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Søndergaard is an HPC senior consultant with 15 years of experience building and operating national-scale research infrastructure at Aarhus University, combining deep technical skills with compliance, procurement, and stakeholder management. He led GenomeDK to become the university’s first ISO 27001–certified unit by developing the ISMS and driving technical changes to meet ISAE 3000/ISO 27001 standards, and he cut data processing agreement turnaround from years to weeks. Equally comfortable writing tenders and designing water-cooled compute nodes as he is automating provisioning, DNS, and monitoring, he delivers pragmatic, cost-effective capacity expansions. A PhD in bioinformatics and a background in teaching give him both research credibility and an aptitude for translating complex requirements into operational systems. He sits on university privacy advisory groups and national HPC forums, reflecting a rare blend of hands-on engineering, policy savvy, and organizational influence. Living in Aarhus with his family, he pairs long-term infrastructure thinking with day-to-day problem solving.
