Christian Kniep
Started out as an HPC SysOps, he now works for Sony's "PS Now" devision as an architect.
Christian gained his System Operations experience working in the R&D departments of German automotive manufactures. He was operating a 3000-node InfiniBand interconnected cluster. This position led to his B.Sc. thesis, in which he proposed an InfiniBand Monitoring Suite named QNIB (Qualified Networking With InfiniBand) which aimed to provide a better understanding of Interconnect fabrics. This single-layer approach grew during the years to form QNIBTerminal, a holistic workbench to test-drive different HPC stacks using Docker containerization. Since July 2015 Christian works as a Release Engineer at Gaikai Inc., a Sony company looking into new technologies like Docker and other infrastructure related aspects.
