Philip Mucci is a technologist, entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist. He is a classically trained computer scientist having done his Master’s degree under Turing award winner, Dr. Jack Dongarra, on high-performance, low-latency communication mechanisms for distributed computation. Philip gained early notoriety for the development of PAPI, an open-source package that helped both software and hardware engineers optimize their designs for power and performance. Since 1999, he has worked as a consultant for a number of Fortune 500 companies, chip manufacturers and independent software vendors as well as varied industry verticals, simulation, energy, finance and more. Despite having first programmed an Apple II in 1981, he has continued to stay both relevant and current, as his career in supercomputing evolved into at-scale, big-data analytics and now, machine learning.
