Bailey Brown is a senior software engineer with over 15 years of systems-level experience and a decade focused on C/C++ development, currently building military simulation software. He pairs deep low-level expertise—device drivers, kernel tweaks, and user-mode filesystems—with full-stack and UI coding skills, consistently delivering efficient, low-bug implementations. Bailey has led performance-critical projects that doubled or vastly improved throughput in production systems and rebuilt complex components such as an X server DDX layer and a Windows client text renderer. An active open-source contributor, he reimplemented gocryptfs for Windows (cppcryptfs) and made stability and oplock improvements to the widely used Dokany library, showing a knack for learning cryptography and filesystem internals independently. Based in Boca Raton with a Computer Engineering degree from the University of Michigan, he blends hands-on optimization talent with practical product-minded engineering.
