Head of Research Software Engineering (#RSE, #RSEng) at the University of Cambridge. I am also Co-director of the Institute of Computing for Climate Research Science and a bye-fellow of Queens’ College. I have been doing #HPC since last millenium!

In any case, I'm looking to help researchers use high performance computing HPC resources effectively.

Speaking here on behalf of myself only.

Here’s @milliams giving the lightning talk.

Please come and see our stand and pick up some swag.

Having a crisis of identity: I self identify as a Research Software Engineer (#RSE #RSEng) but 10 minutes browsing the Orange Site makes me weep.

Getting mildly pissed off with my bank.

Yes, I know they are using machine learning to protect me from fraudulent transactions, but more and more they are having false positives, preventing me from using my own money!

It blows my mind 🤯 that we looked at this in 1962 and said we’re going to go there
