Summary
David Rebatto is a seasoned research technologist and system administrator with over 21 years managing High Performance and High Throughput Computing for the ATLAS experiment, currently running the Milan Tier-2 facility. He combines deep operational expertise in Grid middleware (gLite/EMI), large-scale storage (petabyte-class, IBM GPFS) and batch systems like Condor with strong scripting skills in shell and Python to automate and integrate complex infrastructures. His background spans hands-on hardware and middleware deployment, middleware component maintenance for EMI, and multi-line user support—roles that bridge research computing and production-grade service delivery. Beyond operations, he has designed interfaces between proprietary experiment software and middleware and contributed to EU-funded Grid projects, bringing both systems-level rigor and software engineering to distributed computing challenges. An early career software developer and university instructor, he pairs practical migration and integration experience with the ability to teach and document technical solutions.
