Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSean Wallace is a Senior Principal Engineer with a 12-year focus on high-performance computing, blending deep academic rigor (PhD-level work and adjunct teaching) with hands-on engineering of leadership-class systems. He helped architect and ship Cray/HPE's Shasta platform and moved those low-level hardware and telemetry insights into cloud-native management services using Go, Python, and occasional C++. Sean excels at building scalable telemetry, inventory, and lifecycle automation for massive clusters, and has repeatedly redesigned data paths for extreme insert-rate time-series storage. Based in Wausau, WI, he pairs systems-level curiosity with production pragmatism—comfortable from PXE and boot flows to Kubernetes operators that offload hundreds of thousands of requests. Notably, his career spans both owning small web/IT businesses and driving enterprise HPC infrastructure, giving him a rare perspective across boot-to-cloud system lifecycles.
