Summary
Florian Lengyel is a retired research computing leader with 15 years of hands-on experience building and operating high-performance computing and data analysis facilities. He designed and managed multi-node Linux clusters, implemented batch schedulers (LSF, SGE, PBS), and prototyped Hadoop MapReduce environments while leading teams and mentoring fellows who moved on to major tech roles. His work spans systems integration—AD/Kerberos/PAM/Samba with RHEL/CentOS—LAMP administration, cybersecurity lab development for malware forensics, and scripting for corpus post-processing, underpinned by a PhD in Mathematics. Based in New York, he blends rigorous academic training with practical infrastructure delivery and grant-writing experience for NSF-style projects. Known for a dry wit and an Erdös number hint in his GitHub bio, he brings a thoughtful, problem-first approach to technical challenges.
