Summary
Dylan Thies is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building low-level and systems software across government and commercial clients. He combines deep C/C++ and assembly expertise with practical DevOps skills—authoring CI/CD tooling using Kubernetes, Docker, Ansible, Liquibase, and Bash at General Dynamics. Previously he was a lead compiled-language engineer on NOAA’s tsunami warning system, developing pluginable middleware and real-time message queues, and has formal training in mathematics from RPI. Dylan’s interests center on BIOS and operating-system design, and he brings uncommon breadth in supporting legacy and modern platforms from Windows 3.1 to FreeBSD and macOS. Outside code he’s noted for hands-on problem solving (and bicycle repair), reflecting a pragmatic, systems-first approach to engineering.
