About Me

I'm Leo, an AI infrastructure architect focused on pushing the limits of modern hardware scalability—bridging GPUs, interconnects, and distributed systems to unlock their full potential. I benchmark state-of-the-art scale-up and scale-out networking, and build platforms and tools that hide AI infrastructure complexity for real-world production use.

Projects

  • Super Kernel: a next-generation Jupyter kernel that unifies scale-up and scale-out networking, enabling seamless execution of notebook cells across large GPU clusters.
    Outcome: make distributed execution feel like a local notebook.

  • nf-iac: an Infrastructure-as-Code executor for Nextflow that provisions per-task ephemeral compute via Terraform for transparent, predictable, cloud-native execution.
    Outcome: infrastructure lifecycle is bound to the workflow for auditability and cost control.

  • Jupyter Kernel Agent: a lightweight kernel agent that forwards notebook cells to any HTTP endpoint—easy to connect notebooks to clusters or cloud backends.
    Outcome: run code remotely with a simple, debuggable execution path.
  • Jupyter Remote Kernel: a CLI tool for launching and managing remote Jupyter kernels over SSH port forwarding, with robust sync and recovery.
    Outcome: reliable local↔remote workflows without exposing ports publicly.
