Summary
Hank Jaensch is a software engineer with a decade of experience specializing in systems programming, embedded, and real-time systems, now based in New York. He currently builds production software at Candid Health and volunteers to modernize tooling for wildfire response at Wildfires.org, blending product-focused engineering with public-interest work. Previously at Waybridge he scaled backend systems, instrumented end-to-end tracing to find performance bottlenecks, and led onboarding and technical education as the team grew. His early research on paravirtualized PCI emulation and hands-on teaching of C and assembly underline a strong low-level systems background paired with practical delivery. Hank brings a curious mix of deep systems knowledge and customer-facing product iteration, with experience optimizing Django internals and applying fuzz testing to improve real-time service stability.
