Summary
Sol Jerome is an HPC Lead Systems Engineer with 17 years of experience designing and operating high-performance Linux platforms and naming services for research and enterprise environments. Based in Dallas, he combines deep systems-level skills—C/C++, assembly for embedded Motorola 6812, Python, and extensive shell tooling—with hands-on platform expertise across Debian, RHEL, Gentoo and macOS. As Co-Founder and CTO of Siriad, LLC and now leading HPC at UMass Amherst, he balances operational leadership with product-minded engineering and version-control discipline. He brings a knack for plumbing complex infrastructure—DNS/BIND, OpenLDAP, NIS—into reliable, reproducible compute stacks and is comfortable moving from low-level firmware to large-scale cluster administration. Notably, his background in computer engineering and longtime dual role as operator and founder give him a pragmatic edge in turning research compute needs into maintainable production systems.
