Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKristina Frye is an HPC Performance Engineer and PhD candidate in Computer Science who blends 11 years of engineering and QA experience with deep expertise in performance tooling for parallel applications. Based in Portland, she designs and implements analysis tools that correlate rank/thread-level metrics with system information to help developers, sysadmins, and data scientists optimize HPC workloads. Her career pivot from 15 years managing quality systems and regulatory compliance for medical-device manufacturing to software development and DevOps gives her a rare combination of discipline-driven process skills and hands-on coding across C/C++, CUDA, Python, Java, C#, Ruby, and JavaScript. A competitive PCEP internship alum, she has delivered production-grade automation, integrations, and open-source client libraries while enjoying the challenge of refactoring legacy code into cleaner architectures. Notably, her work at Trenza and Los Alamos focused on extracting actionable IO and performance insights from complex HPC environments—turning noisy telemetry into practical optimization guidance.
