As the CSE Service deputy director, I tend to be involved in most aspects of the service delivery. However I have a particular role within the eCSE programme, around documentation, outreach and understanding and monitoring emissions as we look towards Net Zero services. Out with work you can find me in my garden or enjoying the chaos of being a Beaver Scout leader.

My main role as CSE Architect in the ARCHER2 service is to try to make the service as useful as possible for researchers. I help the team prioritise work to improve the service and try to anticipate future requirements for researchers on ARCHER2. I strongly believe that we can achieve more in research by working together openly in a collegial way and so think that having strong links between the ARCHER2 service and the wider community are vital; and where the critical mass of the ARCHER2 service can have a large impact. To help achieve this I try to maintain strong links with various organisations, such as the Society of Research Software Engineering, the UK HPC-SIG, DiRAC, The Carpentries and various user communities. In my spare time, I can be generally be found out in the countryside somewhere: either under it (caving), over it (bikepacking) or though it (wild swimming).

Outreach
]
Since joining EPCC in 2018, I’ve been involved in a number of eCSE projects, with a particular interest in supporting users from the environmental and life sciences domains. I’m a course organiser on the MSc that we run, as well as being involved in lecturing on a range of other MSc modules and ARCHER2 training courses, and have recently been awarded a NERC training grant. I also help manage aspects of the ARCHER2 outreach programme, to help explain to the public why ARCHER2 is so important.
