Senior🎓
Top SchoolMazder Rahman is a Senior System Engineer and PhD-trained computer scientist with 11+ years specializing in HPC and scientific software for engineering simulations, blending deep expertise in C/C++, CUDA, Fortran, MPI/OpenMP and real-time data tooling like ParaView Catalyst. He designs fast, reproducible build and deployment pipelines (CMake, Spack, Docker, Kubernetes) and optimizes compute-intensive code across bare-metal supercomputers and cloud platforms (ACENET, GCP, Nimbix). Comfortable across the stack, he applies rigorous performance analysis and debugging (CUDA-gdb, TotalView, Scalasca) alongside CD/CI and regression testing best practices to deliver production-ready simulation systems. His background spans academic research—5+ years on reversible logic and quantum computation and a postdoc on JVM GC—to industry roles developing satellite and simulation software, showing a rare mix of theoretical rigor and pragmatic engineering. Based in Ottawa, he also consults via his personal site, bringing both hands-on kernel-level optimization and systems integration experience to large-scale scientific projects.
