Silkan

Managing R&D partnerships on cloud computing and cloud rendering projects, and integrating their outcomes into the company's simulation products.

Context

Silkan builds HPC and real-time simulation solutions. Cloud computing was changing how simulation workloads could be delivered, and the company needed that explored through collaborative R&D rather than in isolation.

What I did

  • Managed R&D partnerships on cloud computing projects, with industrial and academic partners.
  • Led the cloud computing innovation projects, including cloud rendering for simulation workloads.
  • Integrated the outcomes of those R&D projects back into internal products.

Outcome

Collaborative research turned into technology the company’s own simulation solutions could use.
