What\'s an Advisory Solutions Engineer? Well no one knows, however I\'m told it\'s a level above a Senior Solutions Engineer, and below a Principal Solutions Engineer. Anyway, I design Parallel File System Highly Available Storage Solutions for AI, ML, HPC workflows for customers like Nvidia, Guardant Health, Roche, Genentech, Boeing, KLA, NGC, eBay, and many others. Work daily with all levels of leadership and customers. Design data fabrics and overall workflows for data.

SKILLS
ABOUT ANDRÉ GIGNAC
I bring broad and deep expertise across personal and enterprise computing, with a strong foundation in Apple, Windows, and Linux systems. My skill set spans multimedia design, video editing, animation, and cutting-edge work in AI, machine learning, deep learning, and large language models.Lately, I’ve been focused on GPU and CPU compute at scale — working with NCPs and supporting very large deployments in high-performance environments. From configuring complex compute infrastructures to optimizing workflows for massive data loads, I thrive where power meets precision.I\'m also well-versed in enterprise Apple and Windows management, with battle-tested experience in SAN/NAS/PFL administration and storage workflow engineering. My approach combines technical know-how with practical, real-world problem-solving — often gained through trial by fire (and a little bit of duct tape).Over the years, I’ve worn a lot of hats: Videographer, Director, Producer, Writer, Editor, IT Engineer, Solution Designer, Senior Sales Engineer, Coffee Provider — and occasional breaker of things in the name of progress. Each role has shaped the way I solve problems and collaborate with others.I love a challenge, work well with teams, and always bring curiosity, creativity, and a dash of geeky enthusiasm to the table.
