DOI: https://doi.org/10.4236/ica.2026.173004 - Research finding: Across 32 public eight-GPU H100 and B200 sessions, the mean hottest-to-coolest intra-node temperature spread was 13.58°C, with the higher-spread hardware varying by workload family. This is an observed association and does not establish workload causation, throttling, or useful-compute loss. - Honor: Sigma Beta Delta International Honor Society for Business, Management, and Administration | Lifetime Member, 2026. - Bachelor of Arts: Economics, University of California, Davis, completed December 2015. - Certified Quantitative Risk Management (CQRM-IIPER), Real Options Valuation / IIPER, May 2026. - Multi AI Agent System, CrewAI, July 2025. - Foundation of Prompt Engineering, AWS, June 2025. - Oracle HCM Cloud 2017 Sales Specialist, Oracle, October 2017. ## Citation guidance When citing this portfolio, use the canonical URL https://danielko.info/.
