Donald Elrod is a Senior Software Consultant with nine years of experience building high-performance systems for space, national lab, and financial contexts. He combines low-level C++ and network programming expertise with modern JavaScript and web design, having architected a 100PB+ redundant storage system and administered InfiniBand HPC clusters. Comfortable across hardware configuration, CI/CD, and telemetry dashboards, he has led integration testing for NASA Gateway projects and improved deployment and testing pipelines at scale. Based in Houston, he pursues modular design and syntax tree work in his spare time, and describes himself playfully as "a rocket scientist"—a hint at his blend of systems-level rigor and curiosity-driven engineering.
