Dynamic Infrastructure & Energy Optimization
Context: Hewlett-Packard (HP) | Data Center Operations
The Strategic Challenge: High-density data centers require extreme precision in thermal management to prevent hardware failure and minimize massive energy overhead. At HP, I supported the Dynamic Smart Cooling (DSC) infrastructure, a complex system where technical documentation and real-time monitoring were the only lines of defense against operational waste.
The Technical Solution: Operating at the intersection of hardware and software, I managed the configuration and installation of infrastructure equipment (hot & cool sensors) using Linux OS programming onto the base-stations. My role focused on the "health of the system."
Precision Monitoring: Auditing energy outputs to ensure the DSC infrastructure performed at peak efficiency.
Root Cause Analysis: Investigating and resolving abnormal energy usage patterns, transforming "messy" data into actionable technical solutions.
Systems Coordination: Following a major organizational restructure, I became the O&M Lead of site-wide logistics (Shipping/Receiving, IT setup, and Lab coordination), ensuring zero downtime during a period of high-friction transition.
The Business Impact: By treating energy usage as a "documentation and design" problem, I achieved measurable reductions in energy waste. My ability to maintain high-trust documentation and coordinate cross-functional teams (from Senior Scientists to third-party contractors) ensured the LIT Lab Data Center remained a stable, sustainable environment. This "Systems-First" approach earned me a rare invitation to join the Senior Science team’s lab operations.
