Summary
Derek Peterson is a software engineer with 11 years of experience blending low-level analog circuit design and high-performance software, now focused on delivering production systems at Evisort. His background includes CUDA development at Daisy Intelligence and analog design at AMD, giving him a rare cross-domain fluency in hardware-aware software and performance optimization. Proficient in Python, Perl, TCL, C, SQL and Linux, he pairs hands-on coding with strong source-control practices (Git/Perforce) and a track record of mentoring and organizing teams. He excels at translating client requirements into documented, trackable solutions and stepping into significant responsibility with minimal supervision. Based in Old Toronto, Derek brings an engineer’s rigor from a University of Toronto Engineering Science degree and practical experience shipping compute-intensive features. Colleagues appreciate that he comfortably moves between circuit schematics and CUDA kernels, which helps bridge hardware constraints and software performance needs.
