Summary
Corey Ashby is a software engineer with nine years of experience building high-performance media, graphics, and developer-facing systems, blending C/C++ expertise with GPU acceleration and computer vision work. He has shipped codec and transcoding features, containerized cloud workflows, and developer experience content across companies from Intel and Cisco to media-focused startups and security tooling teams. Comfortable moving between low-level optimization (OpenCL, hand-tuned kernels, bitstream syntax) and higher-level developer relations, he pairs technical depth with strong writing and presentation skills to make complex systems accessible. Corey emphasizes continuous improvement and learning, prototyping in Rust and instrumenting metrics to guide product and curriculum decisions. He is known for mentoring peers and turning research-grade proofs of concept into production-ready tools and documentation. Based in Daytona Beach, he combines a rigorous engineering background (MS Johns Hopkins, BS Northeastern) with a collaborative, people-first approach to shipping reliable software.
