Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrank Murphy is a Senior Software Engineer with 16 years of experience building high-performance, security-minded systems and scaling data pipelines for production at internet scale. Based in Ann Arbor, he has driven major features for Instructure's open-source Canvas LMS, contributed backend and QA work to its outcomes import flow, and helped decouple monolith components into resilient services. At Censys he developed a custom DNS server in Rust, prototyped L4 OS fingerprinting in Go, and helped scale daily IPv4-wide scanning and rapid-threat response. Earlier roles include designing I/O and API systems to process hundreds of terabytes at Arbor Networks and embedded test software at GE Aviation, reflecting a breadth across low-level systems, networking, and backend services. He combines hands-on coding (Rust, Go, C/C++, Python) with cross-team coordination, documentation, and developer tooling to ship reliable, auditable solutions. Colleagues rely on him to turn ambiguous, large-scale problems into practical, tested implementations.
