Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Lorenz is a seasoned IBM software development architect and team lead with over three decades at IBM, currently heading a global team to drive IBM Spectrum Scale adoption for Big Data, AI and ADAS workloads. He combines deep systems and storage expertise—particularly in GPFS/Spectrum Scale, system health, proactive services and OpenStack integrations—with hands-on architecture and component ownership across large-scale distributed storage. Simon’s career includes international manufacturing and semiconductor fab automation assignments, reflecting a practical knack for marrying software design with complex operational systems. Known for moving features from specification to production, he has presented Spectrum Scale integrations at multiple OpenStack Summits and led cross-functional Scrum teams. Less obvious: his early work on embedded telematics and PLC-driven manufacturing systems gives him unique insight into edge-to-core data flows that inform his current storage and analytics focus.
