Current Focus
High Performance Computing at EPCC
Currently pursuing advanced studies in High Performance Computing at the University of Edinburgh's EPCC, focusing on parallel computing, distributed systems, and scientific computing applications. This builds upon my background in system development and open source contributions.
My research interests include:
- Parallel Computing Optimization
- Scientific Computing Applications
- Distributed Systems
- Linux System Integration
Master's Thesis Research
Working on Cross-Architecture Analysis of Large Language Model Performance, focusing on benchmarking LLaMA 3.1 8B model across diverse hardware architectures. The research evaluates critical performance metrics such as latency, throughput, memory consumption, and computational cost.
HPC Infrastructure Experience
Through my academic work and research, I have gained hands-on experience with various world-class supercomputing clusters including - EPCC ARCHER2, EPCC Cirrus, DKRZ Levante, and PSC Bridges-2.
Featured Projects
Arch Linux GUI
Created an offline, graphical installer for Arch Linux, making the powerful distribution more accessible to new users while maintaining its core principles.
