ERIK SMITH
Erik’s first computer was a Commodore 64, which of course he pulled apart to understand exactly how it worked. Performing diagnostics and components level repairs on computers for friends first, then as a business, sparked a life long love and curiosity for computers and solving hard computing problems. In 2000 he designed a 50 node cluster, database server, and lab automation system for a bay area biotech company, pushing the boundaries of drug discovery. He has continued to push innovation and invention for Silverdraft since 2010 and is the focal point in applying high performance computing solutions to the challenges of our customers.
