Summary
Hugo Day is a software engineer with 14 years of experience building everything from embedded C firmware to airborne mission planning and driver-signing tooling. He moves rapidly from prototype to fielded product, having contributed to mission-critical systems at BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman and to device compatibility tooling at Microsoft. Currently at Anduril, he blends low-level hardware knowledge with higher-level system integration to unlock new capabilities in defense and robotics. Comfortable across embedded platforms, Android/Flutter UIs, and ML-informed features, he seeks practical solutions that demonstrate measurable mission impact. Based in Seattle and trained in computer engineering at Purdue, he brings a pragmatic, test-driven approach and an unusual combination of sailing-instructor patience and rapid iteration under real-world constraints.
