Summary
Blake Scherschel is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable, low-level and distributed systems across aerospace, defense, cloud, and gaming domains. He has shipped safety-critical embedded C/C++ software for NASA’s Orion program, developed hardware validation pipelines and full-stack tooling at AWS, and now contributes to advanced systems at Anduril. Comfortable across Rust, modern C++, Python, and JavaScript, Blake specializes in determinism, real-time constraints, and constrained-network protocols—from RADAR and flight-test systems to multiplayer cheat detection and low-frequency radio comms. As a consultant he turned early prototypes into scalable products and multi-region cloud deployments, and he’s equally at home mentoring QA teams as designing core firmware. Based in Seattle, he pairs a computer engineering background with a pragmatic focus on test automation and repeatable validation, often automating complex validation flows that reduce risk in hardware-software integrations.
