Jack Morrison is a Senior AI/ML HPC Cluster Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building and operating high-performance computing infrastructure across national labs, cloud providers, and industry leaders like NVIDIA. He specializes in automation-first workflows, cluster lifecycle tooling (Slurm, Spack, Lmod, Apptainer), and CI-driven test suites—having led cluster ops and ReFrame/GitHub Actions pipelines for production and development environments. At Oak Ridge he supported Top500 systems and shipped user-facing tooling like Job Step Viewer; more recently he maintained and expanded Spack package definitions, including CUDA-enabled variants, to keep complex stacks reproducible. Known for persistence, clear documentation, and a love of git, he combines deep systems knowledge with practical software engineering to help teams extract more value from large-scale compute.
