Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnne Gunn is an experienced software developer, educator, and entrepreneur with over a decade of hands-on experience spanning product startups, legacy system maintenance, and curriculum development. Based in Wyoming, she currently teaches computer science and IT courses at Sheridan College and Tulane SOPA while co-running Sheridan Programmers Guild and contributing to open-source projects like LAMMPS and NumPy documentation. Her background includes founding SaaS startup Oatware and co-founding Tally Systems, where she moved between engineering, product, and customer-facing roles—giving her rare perspective across development, sales, and operations. She excels at modernizing legacy Windows client-server applications, introducing automated testing into messy codebases, and producing complete course content from lectures to exams. Not obvious from her teaching profile: she has contributed bug fixes and memory-leak repairs to a major molecular dynamics codebase (LAMMPS) and cleaned up NumPy’s low-level documentation, showing both deep systems skill and attention to reproducible scientific tooling. Colleagues know her as a practical problem-solver who prefers remote, results-driven collaboration and is generous with referrals when direct work isn’t possible.
