Summary
Braxton Salyer is a Senior Software Developer with nine years of experience building low-level, high-performance systems and foundational libraries in C, C++, and C#, with recent work embracing C++20/23 and real-time 3D graphics and DSP. He has led teams and key infrastructure projects—most recently as lead of Paycom’s reporting and analytics group—while architecting low-latency search, lock-free concurrency primitives, and alternative STL-style libraries that prioritize correctness by construction. Braxton combines rigorous engineering practices and ergonomic library design to raise code quality and developer productivity across codebases, having delivered substantial speedups (up to 60x) and simplified build systems. Equally comfortable in systems and product contexts, he blends deep systems expertise with a collaborative, learn-and-adapt mindset summarized by “strong opinions, loosely held.” Based in Oklahoma City, he’s known for empowering colleagues through better tools and for translating niche DSP and real-time audio experience into robust commercial software.
