James Lembke is an associate professor of computer science and seasoned software engineer with a Ph.D. from Purdue and over two decades of practical experience spanning academia and industry. He blends systems-level expertise—kernel and storage engineering at IBM, fault-tolerant SDN research, and cloud/container architectures—with hands-on full‑stack product work for healthcare and senior‑living platforms. At Milwaukee School of Engineering he designs and teaches courses from operating systems to web development while mentoring competitive programming teams and advising students on careers. His background shows a rare mix of high‑assurance systems design and modern web engineering, with a track record of translating research into production features and mentoring the next generation of engineers. Based in Milwaukee, he is equally comfortable debugging low‑level storage code and shipping user‑facing UI components.
