Senior🎓
Top SchoolYann Sagon is an experienced HPC systems engineer based in Geneva with 13 years managing and developing high-performance compute clusters and cloud infrastructure. Currently responsible for the University of Geneva's new HPC cluster, he blends hands-on Linux system administration with scheduler expertise (Slurm), GPU/CPU cluster operations and automation. His background spans embedded systems, CFD simulations and full-stack web development (Symfony, jQuery, Node.js), giving him a rare cross-domain fluency between low-level hardware, scientific computing and web services. He co-founded FlowKit Ltd., running cloud infrastructure and ops for over a decade, demonstrating both entrepreneurial initiative and production-grade reliability. Comfortable both as a developer and sysadmin, he repeatedly bridges research needs and operational constraints to deliver reproducible, performant compute environments. Fluent in building and operating complex compute stacks, he often applies embedded-hardware pragmatism to large-scale infrastructure problems.
