Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrendan Cunningham is a network software engineer with 11 years of experience building high-performance, multithreaded systems across Linux, Solaris, and Windows. He has deep C/C++ expertise and a track record in HPC and networking—most recently developing an OPA‑CUDA–accelerated PSM2‑NCCL plugin at Cornelis Networks and previously working on Intel’s HPC network I/O stack. His background includes end-to-end simulation work for FAA air traffic control, where he combined back- and front-end development, performance tuning, and human-factors experimentation. Comfortable across client and server web stacks (Python/Django, JavaScript, PHP, XML/XSLT) and OpenGL, he’s happiest improving performance and designing better test strategies. Based in Lower Merion Township, PA, he brings a practical systems mindset and an engineer’s curiosity—“glasses cyborg, C++ admirer”—to squeeze more efficiency out of complex distributed software.
