Michael Jennings is a seasoned scientist and software engineer with 26 years of experience designing, provisioning, and automating HPC clusters for national labs and enterprise environments. Based in Los Alamos, he has led architecture and operations at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and previously ran engineering at a Linux consulting firm and maintained custom Linux distributions. His deep systems programming expertise spans C and Perl, cluster tooling (Charliecloud, Warewulf v3, TORQUE), RPM packaging, and hands-on troubleshooting of complex HPC platforms. He combines research-grade rigor with practical delivery—building reproducible cluster images, task automation pipelines, and hardened mid-range HPC deployments for scientific simulation. An active contributor and VP of HPCXXL, he bridges open-source tooling and mission-critical infrastructure, often tackling the corner-case problems that break at scale.
