Top SchoolSebastian Valero is a Cloud Community Support Specialist based in Amsterdam with 12 years of experience building and operating research-focused cloud and HPC infrastructures. He helps scientific communities integrate applications and data analytics platforms with federated cloud resources, drawing on hands-on experience deploying OpenStack/Ceph prototypes and managing large Linux clusters and VMware environments. His background spans bioinformatics and astroinformatics operations—running a 700-core cluster at Oxford and offering managed cloud services to astronomers—so he blends system administration, CI/CD and reproducible research practices. Sebastian is comfortable with configuration management (Ansible), monitoring, distributed schedulers and packaging for reproducibility (Conda/Bioconda), and he routinely coordinates across European e‑infrastructures. Colleagues know him for translating researchers’ needs into production-ready infrastructure and for driving technology co-design and validation programs that bridge research and operations.
