Eric Schoen is the Director of Engineering at i2k Connect, where he is responsible for delivering the i2k Connect Platform. He plays a major role in ensuring that the architecture, AI science, and processing algorithms are robust, reliable, and scalable from cloud-based to on-premise installations.

Before joining i2k Connect, Mr. Schoen spent over 30 years at Schlumberger, in both research and engineering functions — most recently as its Chief Software Architect. At Schlumberger, he contributed to a broad range of software, from the com­pany’s early pioneering efforts to leveraging knowledge-based systems and high-performance, massively parallel computing. Mr. Schoen was a core developer for both the GeoFrame and Ocean platforms for reservoir characterization. More recently, as a lead and chief architect, he focused on software quality processes and strategies for enterprise-scale architecture for data acquisition, transmission, processing, and delivery for drilling, reservoir characterization, and production operations. Mr. Schoen holds a PhD in computer science (AI) and BS and MS degrees in electrical engineering, all from Stanford University. He can be reached at ejschoen001@gmail.com.
