Izzy Muerte is a Senior Software Engineer in Oakland with a decade of experience building and optimizing build systems and performance-critical C++ software across companies like Adobe, Roblox, Apple, and Mercedes-Benz R&D. Known for a "Jane Of All Trades" approach, Izzy blends deep expertise in build tooling, Python, TypeScript, and C++ with practical familiarity in Go, Swift, and Rust to drive large cross-platform build and CI improvements. Past roles include leading major CMake refactors that cut compile times by up to 10–15 minutes, designing a self-updating build system at Freenome, and creating high-performance internal tools such as a memory-efficient JSON parser. He mentors engineers to improve speed, readability, and maintainability, and reliably reduces developer overhead by automating and hardening build workflows. Outside work he’s into tattoos and drum & bass, a hint of the creative, detail-oriented mindset he brings to engineering.
