Description
High-energy physics is at the forefront in the transformation of research into a computing-intensive field. This process, already challenging for large collaborations at the LHC, can strain the resources of smaller teams who are facing technical challenges that require a high level of coding ability.
The eScience center [https://www.esciencecenter.nl/] is an organisation funded by the Dutch government that proposes to solve this issue by creating a large team of software developers specialised in research. In this talk, I will describe how the challenges of the LHCb upgrade molded my career to fit this specific profile, and the landscape of research beyond the traditional paths.
