Top SchoolClay Ayers is a Senior Software Developer with two decades of professional experience and over a decade focused on delivering automation and systems solutions for aerospace, IT, and large-scale telecommunications customers. Currently building automation platforms for one of the world’s largest cellular providers, he designs Groovy/Java-based workflows that integrate Telnet/SSH/HTTP/DB systems to replace error-prone manual processes with scalable self-service tools. His background spans roles from software engineer to systems architect at companies like Northrop Grumman and SAIC, giving him deep operational and integration expertise across enterprise environments. Clay combines hands-on coding in languages from Java to C with practical UI work (ExtJS/HTML/JavaScript) and production support ownership, meaning he ships features that actually run reliably in operations. He holds a Cum Laude B.S. in Electrical Engineering from UT Arlington and maintains an exploratory interest in FreeBSD and creative tooling such as Blender, hinting at a blend of systems-level curiosity and practical engineering.
