Eric Borisch is an MRI Research Engineer with 16 years at Mayo Clinic, combining deep electrical engineering roots with hands-on expertise in fast MRI reconstruction using parallel programming (MPI, OpenMP) and performance-oriented toolchains. His background in optical engineering at JDS Uniphase, IBM, and internship experience at Intel gives him a rare blend of hardware-minded problem solving and advanced medical imaging software. He contributes to open-source infrastructure work—helping maintain the MacPorts ports tree—demonstrating practical DevOps skills in cross-platform package automation and build-failure remediation. Based in Rochester, Minnesota, he leverages an MS from Stanford and a BS from Case Western to bridge rigorous research methods with production-ready implementation. Colleagues rely on him to optimize computational pipelines and adapt algorithms to heterogeneous architectures, often surfacing subtle compatibility fixes that prevent long-term maintenance pain.
