https://linkedin.com/in/jay-deslauriers/

I am a part-time Research Fellow with the Centre for Parallel Computing at the University of Westminster. Our research revolves around cloud orchestration and cloud security, and we build solutions to support and improve research in STEM and beyond. We maintain an open-source platform built on Kubernetes that is used in various European Horizon 2020 Projects that span manufacturing, healthcare and space science. My full-time role is as a Teaching Fellow at the Imperial College London Graduate School, where I teach introductory level data science courses in Python, R and Julia.
