Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCorey Mcneish is a software developer with eight years of experience applying C++17 and Python 3 to research-driven and production environments, currently building software at Nintendo in Livermore, California. He cut his teeth at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he worked on engineering-grade code and build systems that bridge research and deployment. An active contributor to the spack package manager, Corey has hands-on experience resolving complex build and dependency issues—tweaking CMake, fixing library discovery for OpenCV and libjpeg, and maintaining package recipes for tools like SQLite and R packages. His background in computer science (ASU) with a mathematics minor complements a pragmatic approach to debugging and dependency management, while his combination of research-industry rigor and production-focused tooling makes him strong at stabilizing builds and shipping reliable binaries. Notably, he brings an uncommon focus on the intersection of packaging, reproducible builds, and low-level C++/Python integration that accelerates cross-platform development.
