Tom Boyle has worked at Kennesaw State University since the Spring of 2003. Originally, he supported the Learning Management Systems and the early adopters of these services. He has long been interested in using Linux and open-source software to find solutions for academic situations. As the web footprint of the university grew, he worked to deliver dynamic web content for a wide range of custom websites. In 2012, the early research computing resources were founded within the Advanced Computing department. By 2015, he launched a small student computing cluster built with free software and retired enterprise hardware. In the Summer of 2019, Tom joined the Office of Research where he continues to support research computing efforts through outreach and training.
