Summary
Wolfgang Resch is a research computing engineer with 12 years of experience at the intersection of computational biology and high-performance computing, currently working at CIQ and supporting NIH HPC operations. He began his career as a virology-focused scientist—publishing and curating viral genomes—and transitioned into bioinformatics and systems work, building analysis pipelines in Python, R and C and contributing tools for containerized workflows and storage visualization. At NIH he combined hands-on cluster administration, Slurm and Terraform-driven cloud pilots with end-user training and performance benchmarking, enabling researchers to scale genomics analyses. Known for bridging bench and compute, he still thinks like an experimentalist in his “den,” applying analytical rigor to optimize scientific software and infrastructure.
