Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDonald Simpson is a senior software engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with a decade of experience building networking and test automation systems for industry collaborations and certification labs. He blends full‑stack expertise—React/GraphQL front ends, Node.js/Python backends, MongoDB, and Docker—with low‑level networking work such as driver and ASIC integration from his time at Cisco. At Wi‑Fi Alliance he led automation and database efforts that enabled repeatable certification testing and real‑time command-and-control of distributed sniffer probes, often coordinating cross‑company integrations and training member labs. Comfortable translating messy real‑world requirements into pragmatic, maintainable solutions, he prefers practical rules over theoretical purity while still valuing clean engineering. He’s a collegial collaborator who has supported open source releases and taken ownership of critical modules like SQLite integration. Outside feature work, he’s skilled at turning multi-vendor complexity into a single operational view for testers and integrators.
