Making complex science easier to work with.
Hi, I’m Sam. I build open source tools that help researchers process, analyse, and understand large scientific datasets. I also like turning small hardware ideas into useful little experiments.
01 / Work
Selected projects
Practical tools for understanding HPC jobs, running distributed work, and managing storage.
02Resource telemetry
logger-rs
Collect job resource data on the cluster and write it to a format that HPC Dashboard can analyse.
RustHPC
03Storage tools
rudu
Find where disk space is going with parallel scanning that stays within memory limits on large file systems.
RustCLI
04Distributed analysis
dask_setup
