Hi, I'm Walid.

Building the systems behind the science.

Now.

  • Building AI infrastructure that turns research intent into running pipelines: production MCP servers, agent harnesses, skill scanners, and MLOps tooling.
  • Designing agentic workflows that let researchers describe an analysis in plain language and have it scheduled, run, and monitored on the cluster, with observability built in from the start.
  • Operating the HPC systems behind them: 55,000+ CPU cores and 2,500+ GPUs across six clusters.
  • Keeping research storage fast and organized: helped migrate 30+ PB of cryo-EM/ET imaging data, and tune parallel storage so I/O-heavy pipelines and GPU training jobs aren't left waiting on data.
  • Studying for an M.S. in Computer Science at UT Austin (expected 2028).

Along the way.
