Roger Shepherd is a seasoned director and processor architect with decades of experience designing parallel systems, processor cores and SoC architectures, and leading software and toolchain teams from Inmos to STMicroelectronics. He now runs Chipless Ltd and Bristol Wireless CIC, consulting on distributed computing and IoT security while co-organising the Bristol and Bath IoT Meetup to stay close to community-driven innovation. His background spans low-level ISA and scheduler design (including work on the T9000 and transputer technologies) through to managing multi-core, cache-coherent server-class SoC projects. Pragmatic and technically deep, he combines hands-on architecture work with program management and a recent focus on governance as he seeks non-executive director roles. An early advocate of melding message-passing and time-based scheduling, he brings rare institutional memory of parallel-hardware evolution to contemporary IoT security and distributed-systems problems.
