From Iceland to London: A Global Tech Journey

I'm a technical executive who bridges the worlds of high-performance computing, financial services, and cloud infrastructure. With over 15 years of experience, I've led enterprise-scale transformations that power some of the world's most demanding computational workloads.

The Bridge Builder

Connecting technical depth with business acumen, from bare metal to boardroom

The Scale Architect

Transforming single-region solutions into global platforms serving thousands

The Innovation Catalyst

Early adopter and pioneer, from Kubernetes v1.0 to cutting-edge HPC solutions

Currently serving as Lead HPC/Grid Engineer at Millennium Management in London, I lead the development of hybrid cloud HPC platforms that empower portfolio managers and quantitative researchers with on-demand computational resources. My journey has taken me from pioneering cloud infrastructure at GreenQloud in Iceland, through driving Ubuntu's growth in the HPC market at Canonical, to building enterprise-scale platforms for the world's leading financial institutions.

My expertise spans the full technology stack - from InfiniBand and Omni Path fabrics at the hardware layer, through Kubernetes and OpenStack orchestration, to self-service platforms that democratize access to computational power. I've co-authored reference architectures with major OEMs, presented at international conferences including ISC HPC and Supercomputing, and contributed to open-source projects that advance the field.

Beyond technology, I'm passionate about building teams and cultures that deliver exceptional results. Whether reporting to CEOs or collaborating with engineers, I believe in the power of clear communication, strategic thinking, and relentless focus on customer outcomes.
