Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMario David is a research-focused IT manager and software engineer with over a decade of experience designing and operating cloud and federated computing platforms for scientific communities. Based at LIP Lisbon, he leads R&D on OpenStack, Docker, Ansible and Python-based automation, optimizing data and storage management for high-throughput and data-intensive workflows. He has driven service deployment and validation for large European e-infrastructure projects (EGI-InSPIRE, EGEE series) and contributed software to the VERCE seismology initiative, blending research rigor with production-grade operations. As technical coordinator of the Portuguese Tier-2 for the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid, he combines hands-on system administration with project-level leadership and task management. Holding a PhD in Physics, he bridges academic research and engineering practice, often turning complex scientific requirements into reproducible, containerized services. An understated strength is his long track record of pre-deployment testing and validation, which minimizes disruption when rolling out new middleware and cloud services.
