Haruna Adoga About Haruna

Hello! I am Haruna Adoga, a passionate HPC Systems Engineer, PhD from the University of Glasgow, UK, with a focus on Network Programmability, Edge Computing, Infrastructure Automation, HPC and Cloud Computing. I have a strong background in designing and managing high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructures, specializing in network programmability and virtualization technologies.

I am a member of several professional organizations, including the British Computer Society (BCS), Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET), and the IEEE. I am also a certified AWS Solutions Architect, a RedHat Certified Systems Administrator (RHCSA) and hold multiple networking certifications, including the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP).

Currently, I design and manage HPC infrastructure for handling diverse workloads including AI and distributed applications requiring high-speed, low-latency, GPU-capable infrastructure, while contributing to research and strategic IT initiatives. I welcome collaborations — reach out to discuss!
