Cyd Wise is a Senior Software Developer based in Portland, Oregon with 14 years of professional experience building resilient backend systems and DevOps automation. Comfortable across Haskell, Java, JRuby, and shell tooling, Cyd has designed data pipelines, vehicle telemetry decoders, and transit-management backends while converting numerous services to Docker and improving CI/CD and logging infrastructures. A longtime open-source contributor, Cyd has made practical upstream fixes to prominent Haskell projects like Cabal and has maintained haskell-mode for Emacs, demonstrating deep practical knowledge of the Haskell ecosystem. Trained in cryptologic systems and honorably discharged from the US Navy, Cyd brings operational rigor, security awareness, and a preference for empathetic, testable, and extensible code. Outside work, an early obsession with The Art of Assembly Language fuels a continued love of technical reading, puzzles, and functional programming experiments with NixOS.
