Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBarry Grussling is a senior software engineer with 15+ years focused on security-hardened embedded systems for the electric power grid, currently driving development at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories. CISSP-certified and armed with an M.Eng. in Computer Engineering, he specializes in low-level C/C++ development, Yocto-based Linux, OT networking (Open vSwitch, SDN), and time-sensitive protocols like PTP. His career blends deep protocol and firmware expertise with practical security controls—firewalls, IPSec/WireGuard experience, and OT-focused threat mitigation—to keep critical infrastructure resilient. Early roles administering Unix/Linux labs and building custom monitoring tools reflect a long-standing habit of automating operations and squeezing reliability from constrained systems. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, standards-aware solutions that bridge legacy SCADA/field protocols and modern secure networking.
