Gerardo Hidalgo-Cuellar is a software engineer with nine years of experience building cloud-native IoT platforms and high-performance computing solutions, currently at Allegion where he advances GraphQL-driven, TypeScript-based microservices on AWS and Azure. His background in astrophysical sciences and research—ranging from Hubble spectral analysis to ecology experiments—gives him a strong foundation in large-scale data processing, scientific computing, and reproducible workflows. He combines hands-on systems work (Unix, HPC, shell scripting) with backend development in C#, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and a pragmatic focus on test-driven delivery. At the University of Colorado he helped optimize user-facing HPC tooling and trained researchers, blending developer ergonomics with operational insight. Outside work he’s an avid climber and runner who values elegant tooling (Vim) and is happiest solving performance or data-heavy problems. An enthusiastic lifelong learner, he intentionally seeks cross-disciplinary projects where science and software meet.
