Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGary Briggs is a seasoned programmer analyst and research software engineer with 22 years of experience building C and C++ applications on Unix/Linux, including high-end printer drivers and game engines. At RAND Corporation he applies pragmatic engineering to research workflows, while his senior developer work at Chickenware and open-source Jugglemaster project show a sustained focus on real-time engines and tooling. He combines systems-level C/C++ expertise with practical scripting, SQL, and PHP skills, and is comfortable wearing many hats across development, QA, and sysadmin responsibilities. Known for using open-source libraries like wxWidgets, Bullet, Ogre3D and RakNet, he brings game-engine sensibilities to applied research problems. Based in Los Angeles, he values variety in his work—balancing low-level performance tuning with higher-level prototyping and automation. A longtime Unix enthusiast, he prefers shipping robust native code but continually leverages scripting and open-source ecosystems to accelerate delivery.
