Hello world!

Welcome to my website. I am Benjamin Glick. I’m a OS engineer, researcher, and scientific computing consultant.

My professional interests and experience are broad.

I’m passionate about applying computational approaches to scientific problems.I work everywhere between silicon and software, from HW/SW interfaces to applications and services. I have experience in research software engineering and scientific computation, as well as with building production-grade systems software for AI accelerators.
