He is the principal architect and senior developer for the open-source Cacti monitoring project and its plugin ecosystem, a tool he shepherded from enterprise adoption to commercial integrations. Larry has deep expertise in designing and operating large-scale HPC and monitoring systems—having invented and delivered IBM Spectrum LSF RTM and driven cluster utilizations toward near-100% for select environments. His career spans roles at Qualcomm, IBM, GM and EDS, blending hands-on full-stack development in PHP, Python and Go with strategic technical sales and consulting. Based in Rochester, Michigan, he combines product-level IP stewardship with a practitioner’s affinity for re-engineering complex systems and pragmatic automation.
