Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron R is a Senior Software Engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with nine years of experience building backend systems and shipping production software at companies like Riot Games and Charles Schwab. He holds a B.S. in Computer Engineering from Washington State University and began programming in C++, later expanding into Python, Ruby, and other languages through hands-on projects and internships. At PNNL he developed user-facing Python components for a transactive control system that scheduled appliances like EV chargers and water heaters against time-of-day electricity pricing, blending embedded and distributed systems thinking. Aaron contributes to open-source scientific tooling as a backend developer on GCAM, where he worked on rooftop PV data conversions across regional mappings—an indicator of his attention to data correctness and domain-specific transformations. He’s comfortable debugging complex hardware-software interactions from his software-defined radio senior project and enjoys learning new technologies and tackling challenging integration problems. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic engineer who pairs strong technical fundamentals with a curiosity for applied energy and infrastructure problems.
