COVER LETTER: To Whom It May Concern, I am a highly motivated, seasoned veteran of high performance, scientific, and technical computing architectures, with a detailed understanding of the x86_64 CPU micro-architecture. Throughout my career I have constantly worked on improving my understanding of how software application design, as well as hardware systems design impact how well customer codes scale, and what to do when performance bottlenecks are encountered. I have worked in this industry for more than 20 years, and spent the majority of my career as an individual contributor on product engineering teams, working in fast-paced high-pressure environments always focused on how to maximize value for the customer and shareholder alike. I have been in specific situations involving customer emergencies, where account managers have come to me to salvage high-profile corporate accounts. I recall one such occasion when a high-profile customer was threatening to take their business elsewhere if we couldn't make our demo system function as advertised. After spending a couple of days correcting the configuration, I successfully demonstrated the system capabilities to the customer and single-handedly saved the account. My background is primarily in HPC solution design in a technical pre-sales role supporting global field sales teams. This work included the deployment of large parallel systems, and training of onsite personnel following the deployment phase. Specific to my role at Cray I have personally deployed every CX1000 system in the field, all of which are still in service to date. As you will note from my resume, I have worked for fortune 100 companies such as Intel Corporation, where I spent 8 years as a Sr. Performance Analyst reporting to Software Performance Lab, and 4 years as a Product Line Manager reporting to EPSD, managing the HPC motherboard product line. I was one of two engineers at Intel who co-developed the half-u (0.5U) server motherboard form-factor, now used in most blade server systems. I am extremely well versed in system performance analysis, tuning and optimization of the entire solution stack for variety of business applications. Thank you for your consideration of my candidacy. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Paul J.
