Herzliche Willkommen 👋🏻
This site is a revised revision of amalgamated content, whose purpose exists as a content-associative introduction to the personal ongoings and evolutions, various varieties of ways and means by way of electronically speaking, through which one may come to know Eva Winterschön.
Questions of Specificity
These answers you may come to know by way of the writings and posts and fotos.
Corporate Taglines
Eva Winterschön is a systems architect specializing in cache-centric storage, virtualization, and bare-metal clustering. Her quarter century long career has spanned several engineering specializations, culminating in a sustained focus on roles in systems architecture.
The Now, und Jetzt
Presently, Eva focuses her cognitive output on the design and implementation of advanced storage architectures at Cerebras Systems, best known for creating the world's most advanced Ai Computational Clusters and Supercomputers. Building on experience with FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, and other Big Iron UNIXs going back to 1999, the decades of dedication to this engineering artform have come to influence her architectural decisions while affording a cognitive endurance that is so necessary amidst the rising tides which Ai has come to define.
The Recently Bygone
Previously, she served as Principal Architect at Fastly CDN for a seven year tenure, building performance-engineering and hardware research labs which supported one of the world’s largest web-caching infrastructures, crucial to global internet traffic. Over past decades there have been many datacenters, air-gapped networks, database clusters, long range wireless back-haul, rainforest wifi networking and nearly everything in-between.
Nevertheless, Concurrently in Time
Concurrently, she co-founded an agentic LLM research startup with her husband, and actively contributes to the FreeBSD and OpenZFS communities. In her reflective time, she authors a website (it's this one!) for engineering topics, with reflections on life events, as well as insights on philosophy and cognitive neuroscience. Where social networks are concerned, those are linked on the Profiles page.
All of the rest of things to love
Ideally, the list of loves is longer than those of disfavor, and generally so with the ways in which this nor-endless supply of time may be accounted and allocated towards.
Consuming the Written Word
Eva's forever fondness for reading is typified on three primary genres.
- Non-Fiction: biographies and autobiographies of adventure and personal conquests during explorations in High Altitude Mountaineering, along with the terrifyingly real and enduringly impressive forays from 19/20th century Arctic and Antarctic explorations.
- Hard Science Fiction: cyberpunk, space marines, synthetic human engineering, dystopian futures, and tales of sentience instantiations in consciousness (ie. Murder Bot Diaries)
- Historical Romance: an enduring propensity and love for mid-20th century novels, set to the backdrop of decades surrounding The Great War and World War II and everything in-between; loves that cannot be, tales of sacrifice, honor, tragedy.
Expressions via Externalizations
Driven to comprehend the expansiveness of this often tumultuous sensory world, she's formerly channeled expressiveness it into short stories, discreetly ghost-authored research papers, and penned poetry now archived into the rarest of recollections. Photography endures as her primary discipline: from 35 mm film to digital capture, each image serving as a disciplined study in autobiographical memory.
