Jeff Lang | Jeff, originally from Spokane, Washington, started working at UWyo in December of 2003 and helped to create ARCC in 2010. As the Lead Systems Architect for ARCC, he is responsible for ensuring all systems are operating smoothly so that researchers may concentrate on their research without worrying about technical issues. His favorite part about working for ARCC is the opportunity to work with new hardware, interesting systems, and great researchers while learning about the research being performed at UWyo. |
Josh Arulsamy | Josh, originally from Laramie, Wyoming, joined the ARCC team in the summer of 2023. He primarily works on managing and maintaining existing infrastructure, as well as collaborating with others to solve any problems that may arise.

Outside of ARCC, he enjoys contributing to open-source projects, reading classic American fiction novels, playing chess, and exploring music. |
Levi Wilbert | Levi, originally from Evergreen, Colorado, worked as a student technician in IT for five years as a means of learning skills and eventually a new trade. On his way to outgrowing his student role he learned as much as he could about computers, software, scripting, and Linux. Joining ARCC in March 2021 as a System Administrator II, he is very excited to be working with the ARCC team, and hopes to see researchers find their "Eureka" moment that changes people's understanding of our world. |
Tim Brewer | Tim started working full time at UW in the early ‘90's and helped to create ARCC in 2010. As a Systems Administrator, he helps make sure ARCC’s systems and services remain available for researchers to use, as well as implementing new systems and services. |

As the HPC Software Manager and Programmer Analyst for ARCC, he is responsible for making sure that core software is available and supported, while simultaneously assisting the research community in the development, testing, deployment, and debugging of code and applications. His favorite part about his work at ARCC is the variety and diversity of work, requests, issues, and people within the academic environment. |
Lisa Stafford | Lisa, born in Norman Oklahoma (Boomer Sooner) joined ARCC in February of 2023 after 15+ years supporting faculty, staff, students, and administration at UW IT. As a Research Computing Facilitator, Lisa sparks joy bridging the divide between end users and technical staff.

As a self described Jack-of-all-trades, Dylan enjoys making the connections between research problems and technical solutions all with a smile and a witty sense of humor. When he is not working, he can be found doing one of his many interests ranging from binging Sci-fi TV shows to fly tying and everything in between. |
