Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDuane Byer is a System Simulation Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-impact C++ simulation software for both academic physics and commercial embedded systems. He developed libsidis / SIDIS-RC EvGen, the first SIDIS Monte Carlo generator with radiative corrections now used by multiple research groups and cited in a Duke University publication supporting major collider proposals. Duane blends rigorous physics insight with production-grade engineering—shipping device drivers and DAQ systems, maintaining a web proxy daemon at Fortinet, and currently contributing system simulations at Intel. Comfortable owning projects end-to-end, he has repeatedly turned simulations into design-changing results for multi‑million dollar experiments. Outside research he channels a lifelong passion for game development into rapid prototyping and visual-first design, a background that informs his pragmatic, user-focused approach to complex simulation tools.
