Alan leads technology strategy at YellowDog, shaping the product roadmap and ensuring the engineering organisation is built for speed at scale. He has deep expertise in quantitative finance solutions, with a specific emphasis on high-scale workload management and orchestration, and extensive experience taking world-class R&D teams from concept to production. Prior to YellowDog, Alan led Hewlett-Packard Laboratories’ Advanced Development organisation and Container Research teams.
Every quant team has a jet. But raw compute without high-throughput scheduling is like a fighter that can’t break the sound barrier—all power, no speed. This talk is your call to the danger zone. We’ll show how throughput-optimised architecture and massive concurrency punch through scheduling bottlenecks, orchestrate billions of tasks, compress research cycles from days to hours, and turn large-scale compute into the unfair advantage it was meant to be. Because when speed matters, only teams built for throughput get there first.
