Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJose Escartin is a Senior HPC System Administrator with nine years of experience designing, operating, and optimizing large-scale research computing environments across leading European institutions. Based in Basel, he currently manages sciCORE's HPC cluster with expertise in IaC (Terraform, Ansible), MAAS/Proxmox provisioning, GPFS storage, Slurm scheduling, and high-speed 100G/Infiniband networks including multi-model NVIDIA GPU stacks. His background blends a PhD in Computational Astrophysics—where he developed implicit SPH hydrodynamics codes in C++/Fortran and OpenMP—with hands-on systems engineering for mission-scale projects like ESA’s Euclid at MPE. He has driven both software integration (pipelines, Molecfit, HDRL) and low-level infrastructure maintenance, bridging researcher needs and vendor interactions on-site. Colleagues rely on him for performance tuning of astrophysics workloads and for translating complex scientific pipelines into robust, reproducible HPC workflows. Beyond ops, his record of publications and conference contributions reflects a rare combination of domain research and production-grade systems craft.
