Software Engineer
Summary
👤
SeniorAdam Tenderholt is a Lead Software Engineer and founder with two decades of experience bridging scientific research and scalable software delivery, currently leading engineering at Nike from Hillsboro, Oregon. Trained as a chemist and a former postdoc, he founded cclib and QMForge to turn computational chemistry and spectroscopy workflows into robust open-source and commercial tools, contributing parsers and analysis algorithms still used by the community. He excels at backend systems, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Terraform), and developer tooling while remaining hands-on with Go and React for day-to-day problems. Known for shipping production-grade pipelines and novel desktop apps, he combines scientific rigor with practical product instincts to shepherd features from research prototypes into reliable SaaS and enterprise systems.
