• Cormac McKenna

    Currently I’m the Head of Technical Operations for the ADAPT Centre.

    As Head of Technical Operations I’m responsible for the planning, management, maintenance and support of various mission critical infrastructure which span multiple universities including two High Performance Computing clusters, Virtual Machine Clusters and Docker Container Clusters.

    I’ve also planned, developed and implemented ADAPT’s upgrade of their HPC’s which utilise NVIDIA’s A100 and RTXA6000 GPU’s with 100GB networking capabilities.

    I’ve supported the launch of multiple sites such as virtualtreasury.ie, precisionals.ie, adaptcentre.ie, signon-project.eu, estor.ie, and provided support to multiple projects from various ADAPT associated universities and their researchers.


    I hold a BSc Honours in I.T. Management and a BSc in Computing in Systems Administration.
