LPL extends best wishes to Joe Gotobed, retiring in June after many years of service to the department. Joe began his career at LPL in 1980 as a Programmer III. He has held a variety of titles through the years, retiring as Information Technology Manager, Principal. For nearly 40 years, Joe has been the "go-to" guy for computing at LPL. In the early 1980s, Joe designed and helped build the Kuiper datacenter and network from the ground up. He managed LPL computing's infrastructure through three decades of growth and technological evolution, from the days of punched cards to today's cloud computing. From Pioneer to OSIRIS-REx, Joe's contributions to networking and computing have been an integral part of LPL's success in solar system exploration.
