Open Science Grid

The Open Science Grid (OSG) is the distributed high-throughput computing fabric that powers large-scale science, including high-energy physics for CERN and FermiLab.

As a software architect/engineer (Indiana University, 2008–2015), I designed and built several of OSG’s central services:

  • A resource topology database and visualization services (MyOSG) — a user-centric information resource for OSG infrastructure data.

  • A ticket submission and synchronization system that kept support organizations in sync across a distributed environment.

  • IGTF-accredited x.509 certificate issuance and revocation management.

  • A user-friendly configuration-management UI for perfSONAR network monitoring (as a PWA).

  • Selected papers: “MyOSG: a user-centric information resource for OSG infrastructure data sources” (SC-GCE 2009) · “OSG Ticket Synchronization: Keeping Your Home Field Advantage in a Distributed Environment” (J. Phys.: Conf. Ser. 2012) · “Distributed Monitoring Infrastructure for the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid” (2012).
