Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnders Pitman is a Senior Software Design Engineer in Salt Lake City with 12 years of experience building high-performance systems and data visualizations for bioinformatics, real-time radio, and embedded domains. He combines low-level expertise in C and performance tuning with modern full-stack skills in Go, JavaScript (React/Vue/d3), and Python, and has a track record of shipping reliable tooling and deployment automation. At Artemis he built instrumentation and visualization platforms for ultra-low-latency software radio and contributed to core pCell technology, and more recently he focuses on computational tools that improve human health and biology research. Anders is an active open-source contributor—helping scikit-bio, migrating bioinformatics teaching materials to Python 3, and improving tunneling and TLS tooling in projects like boringproxy and sirtunnel. He enjoys tackling tricky performance and realtime challenges and learning new languages (enough Lisp to be dangerous), which shows in a mix of systems, web, and DevOps work across research and product teams.
