Summary
Greg Bruno is a seasoned software architect and entrepreneur with 19+ years designing and delivering scalable, parallel systems for HPC, storage, and on-prem cloud platforms. He co-founded the Rocks Cluster Distribution at SDSC—an open-source Linux distro that helped commodity clusters reach Top500 performance—and later commercialized that work through StackIQ, which was acquired by Teradata after landing Fortune 500 customers. His career blends deep systems engineering (parallel databases, HPC, scalable storage) with leadership roles from VP engineering to consulting and architect-level positions. Greg pairs academic rigor—a PhD and MS in Computer Science from UC San Diego—with hands-on curiosity, recently diving into Typescript/React to ship an Expo mobile app. He’s comfortable moving between low-level infrastructure and product-facing outcomes, and has experience cultivating communities through conferences and podcasts around his projects. Based in San Diego, he continues to bring pragmatic, research-informed approaches to complex distributed systems.
