Q: What single event most made you realize you wanted a career in HPC/computing?

Foulds: I was invited to project manage the XNet group [SCinet experimental network] to help drive cutting-edge network projects for SC18, and I was hooked!

Q: What do you consider your biggest contribution to the HPC/computing community?

Foulds: I have served on various committees with SCinet and the SC Committee in both project management and management roles.

Foulds: Waiting on the next big, featured thing. I can’t say what that [thing] is because I am not a subject matter expert, but I know that change drives innovation.
