Senior🎓
Top SchoolShane Canon is a seasoned project engineer with 15 years of experience building and scaling high-performance, data-intensive computing infrastructure for national labs. Based in Pleasant Hill, CA, he has led teams that architected petascale storage and global file systems—most notably contributing to Spider for Oak Ridge’s Jaguar—and deployed storage solutions for 32k+ core HPC systems. His expertise spans kernel programming, parallel file systems, Linux clusters, and cloud integration, enabling scientific discovery across computational and bioinformatics communities. A PhD physicist who moved from hands-on cluster administration to strategic technology integration, he combines deep systems-level knowledge with practical leadership in production research environments. Not obvious from titles alone: he repeatedly bridges emerging cloud models with traditional HPC storage to broaden access for new user communities.
