Hi, I am Enrique Garcia, a Software engineer with 10 years of experience accross DevOps & cloud, technical project management, data engineer, software development and data science.

I hold a MSc in Astrophysics and a BSc in Physics.

Below is a summary of my CV.

Work Experience

CERN - Geneva. 10/2022 – 09/2025

Fellow on Scientific Computing.

IT-LCG-TC (Technical Coordination) Group

• Platform Lead of the ESCAPE Virtual Research Environment (VRE):
  • Led the development and operations of a cloud-based scientific computing platform enabling end-to-end data analysis workflows for distributed research teams.
  • Designed and maintained an integrated platform architecture connecting interactive Jupyter environments, a scientific data management service (RUCIO framework) and a reproducible workflow infrastructure (REANA) via an unified authentication layer (OAuth2 / INDIGO IAM).
  • Implemented the platform observability and monitoring stack, integrating Prometheus-based metrics and Grafana dashboards to track service health, usage, and performance across the infrastructure.
• Coordinated technical activities across multiple international partner institutions, aligning data management and analysis platforms initiatives.
  • Led the integration of the VRE into the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), contributing to the foundations of a federated European research data and computing ecosystem.
• Active contributed to the Rucioopen-source project and maintained the JupyterLab plugin used within the platform.
  • Contributed to the standardization of the data management infrastructure at CERN for small- & medium-scale experiments using the Rucio ecosystem.
• Supervised three CERN Summer Student projects delivering JupyterLab extensions for REANA and Zenodo with OAuth2-based authentication.

Skills & Technologies used: DevOps & Cloud (Kubernetes, Helm, K9s, Flux, Docker, Singularity, GitHub actions, GitLab CI/CD, OpenStack, ArgoCD), Software development & Data Analysis (Python, Bash scripting, git, CVMFS, REST APIs), Project Management (Agile, Scrum), Scientific Data Management Frameworks (Rucio, FTS3, gfal2), Computing Platforms (Reana, JupyterHub), HPC and distributed computing (HTCondor), AunthN/Z (INDIGO IAM, OAuth2.0, OIDC), Monitoring tools (Grafana, Kibana, Prometheus), Relational Databases (Postgres, MySQL) and Web technologies (NodeJS, JavaScript).

LAPP/CNRS-IN2P3 - Annecy. 07/2019 – 09/2022

Data and Software Engineer.

CTA/HESS High energy gamma-ray astrophysics group.
