Varun Sharma — Product Manager

Ever since childhood, I have been deeply fascinated by computers and technology, which led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering (B.Tech). My academic journey equipped me with a strong foundation in science, advanced mathematics, computing, programming languages, and algorithms, strengthening my expertise in Information Technology. With 13+ years of experience in IT infrastructure, system administration, and high-performance computing (HPC), I have had the opportunity to support major organizations, including University Of Chicago, Bharti Ltd., McKinsey & Co., The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)(India), and the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES)(India). Notable HPC Projects: - Large and Complex HPC Systems & sub-systems hosted by University Of Chicago. - "MIHIR" Cray XC40 (2.8 PFLOPS) – Ranked 66th in the Top500 Supercomputers (June 2018). - IBM iDataPlex "Bhaskara" (350 TFLOPS) – Ranked 89th in the Top500 Supercomputers (June 2013). - IBM Power6-Based HPC System (22 TFLOPS). With over 9+ years in HPC, I have developed deep expertise in cluster deployments, DevOps automation, distributed storage, networking, resource management, and troubleshooting complex system environments. My goal is to enable scientists, researchers, and students by ensuring robust, high-performing, and scalable computing environments.
