Summary
Brian Blalock is an embedded and autonomous systems software engineer with nine years of experience building avionics and robotics software from low-level C++ on VxWorks to Python tooling and networked real-time systems. He has shipped multi-sensor mapping, computer vision, and ML-enabled autonomy in both academic research (F1Tenth) and industry roles, and recently joined Anduril after hands-on system and test work at AeroVironment and Tomahawk Robotics. Comfortable across embedded stacks—audio streaming, USB HID, protobuf networking, GStreamer—and familiar with CI/tooling and Agile processes, he bridges hardware constraints and higher-level autonomy software. Based in Atlanta, he actively seeks cutting-edge projects that expand automation capabilities and often builds practical test tools that reveal and resolve system-level integration issues before deployment.
