Top SchoolDavid T is a Senior Software Engineer with 14+ years of experience building high-performance systems across finance, aerospace, and cloud platforms. He specializes in algorithmic trading and optimization, having founded a hedge fund that delivered ~20% annual returns and built multithreaded, distributed C++ systems with GPU acceleration. His background spans low-level and UI work—from real-time scheduling and OpenGL interfaces to Qt-based GUIs and satellite planning software—along with substantial AWS and Java cloud experience at Amazon. David leads engineering efforts that bridge research and production, including containerization and Kubernetes deployments for satellite communications and security-focused airspace systems. He combines a deep toolchain fluency (C/C++, Python, OpenCL/CUDA, git, CI/CD) with a designer’s taste for elegant solutions and a maker’s history of 3D printing and community-driven prosthetics. Based in Derwood, MD, he pursues pragmatic optimization and enjoys turning science-fiction ideas into working technology.
