Summary
Gabriel Anderson is a staff software engineer with two decades of embedded systems experience focused on F/A-18 avionics, combining deep low-level expertise in Assembly with a decade of modern C++ architecture work. As the local software architect for F/A-18 AMC, he has led design and delivery of safety-critical flight software at NAWCWD and now continues that work at Northrop Grumman. Comfortable across C/C++, Assembly, C#, Perl, Java, and Python, he pairs rigorous systems thinking with pragmatic coding practices. A high-achieving ECE graduate from University of Colorado Boulder, he brings rare continuity across a long-term defense program, translating evolving requirements into maintainable, verifiable codebases. Currently learning Rust, he’s actively expanding his toolset toward safer systems programming while retaining a strong heritage in real-time embedded constraints.
