About

A small firm with a long record.

CPU Guru LLC was founded by Doug White, a U.S. Navy Veteran (Nuclear Electronics Technician) who spent more than 27 years leading secure research computing and grant-funded IT at the University of Delaware before retiring in 2024. The firm pairs that depth with current Space Operations coursework from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University — serving research communities, federal programs, and operators of mission-critical systems.

Research Vessel IT & Scheduling

Specialized support for research vessel operations, shipboard data systems, and international scheduling. Maintainer of researchvessels.org.

Space Operations Consulting & Training

Technical consulting and training bridging research computing with space domain awareness and secure operations — built on current Space Ops coursework and decades of secure-systems practice.
