Silicon/Semiconductor/EDA Engineering Platforms and Solutions/ Principal Solution Architect

About

Principal Infrastructure Solution Architect with over 19 years of experience designing, scaling, and securing high-throughput compute environments for semiconductor engineering teams. Specializing at the intersection of High-Performance Computing (HPC), hybrid cloud, high-bandwidth storage, and complex EDA software ecosystems (Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens EDA/Mentor). From building ground-up IT/HPC foundations for semiconductor startups to deploying enterprise-grade security and VDI frameworks, I bridge complex EDA workflows with modern infrastructure. My approach combines deep technical execution—optimizing IBM LSF/Slurm schedulers, NetApp/Dell NAS storage, and FlexLM licensing—with strategic vendor negotiations to maximize compute density and drive cost efficiency. Holding an M.Tech in Computing Systems & Infrastructure from BITS Pilani Core Competencies & Technical Scope * HPC & Workload Orchestration: Bare-metal blade clusters, rack layouts, NVIDIA GPU acceleration, and enterprise job scheduling via IBM Spectrum LSF and Slurm. * Enterprise NAS & Storage: High-performance storage deployment and tuning using NetApp and Dell NAS for heavy Linux I/O workloads and chip simulation flows. * Remote Visualization & VDI: Interactive graphical EDA display management via Amazon DCV, OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX), Apache Guacamole, VNC, and RDP. * Identity & Zero-Trust IAM: Directory services and access management across JumpCloud, Cisco Duo, Microsoft Entra ID (O365), Google Workspace, and Samba4. * Vendor Management & Procurement: Technical vendor negotiations, hardware procurement, data center planning, and FlexLM license optimization to control TCO. * Security & Compliance: ISO 27001:2022 implementation, secure remote access, JumpHosts, and MFA enforcement across Linux/Windows fleets. * Hybrid Cloud & Infrastructure: Startup-to-scale IT/HPC deployments, infrastructure automation.
