Senior🎓
Top SchoolBryan Ashby is a Senior Software Engineer with 18 years of experience building high-performance, cross-platform systems from kernel modules to cloud-native Rust and Go services. He’s led architecture and implementation of security- and performance-critical products—designing EDR/MDR pipelines, asynchronous gRPC frameworks, and microVM-based extension sandboxes—while driving measurable gains like 99% faster plugin execution and 50%+ transfer improvements. A self-taught developer and persistent problem-solver, Bryan thrives on tackling "impossible" challenges and mentoring teams through complex technical tradeoffs and RFC-driven designs. He contributes to open-source projects such as the ENiGMA½ BBS (ACS and FTN handling), showing a taste for both legacy interoperability and modern observability. Based in Salt Lake City, he blends hands-on coding across C++, Rust, Go, Python, and cloud platforms with pragmatic product alignment and security-minded engineering. Outside work he’s a father and self-described troublemaker—bringing curiosity and a willingness to poke at assumptions to every project.
