Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoe Shamblin is a Senior IT Manager with three decades of hands-on experience at the intersection of university IT, research computing, and infrastructure. At Duke University he leads departmental IT operations, manages a 150-node GPU cluster, and directs AI enablement efforts—building chatbots, MCP integrations, and identity-aware AI tooling while running Copilot Studio workshops. He combines systems-level expertise (Slurm, Open OnDemand, VMware/Hyper-V, Salt, NetApp) with software craftsmanship—authoring Python wrappers for Duke’s Grouper APIs and bespoke GPU monitoring and resource-tracking tools. A former systems administrator and security consultant, he brings operational rigor to academic research environments and a knack for translating institutional constraints into workable AI solutions. His background in physics underpins a methodical curiosity and emphasis on computational correctness, and he’s equally comfortable mentoring staff, teaching hands-on AI workshops, or diving into low-level diagnostics.
