Eric Cornelius is a pragmatic CTO and seasoned software engineer with 13+ years building high-performance, distributed systems and security products, currently leading the development of a next-generation security SaaS at Cylerian. He brings hands-on expertise across C++17, D, Node.js/React, cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), and infrastructure automation, bridging front-end and back-end engineering with a systems-level view. His background includes architecting email security and threat platforms at FireEye, low-latency financial systems at Bloomberg, and enterprise infrastructure at Morgan Stanley, reflecting deep domain experience in search/matching engines and messaging infrastructure. Known for rapid prototyping and DSL implementations, he pairs a research-minded curiosity—evident from early academic work in ASL and instrumentation—with practical product delivery. Based in Mammoth Lakes, CA, he stays current through continual learning (Coursera) and applies whatever language or tool is required to solve the problem at hand.
