Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Wendel is a seasoned software engineer with 13 years of experience building and shipping systems across storage, networking, and cloud-scale products, currently working at Google. His background spans low-level Linux kernel and device driver work through to single-page web applications and REST APIs, reflecting a strong full-stack and systems pedigree. At LSI he led development and release teams, designed pluggable storage-management frameworks, and introduced CI/build improvements that scaled across products. He helped carry Sourcefire into Cisco and then advanced to large-scale engineering at Cisco before joining Google, where his role humorously summarized as “Money Plumber” hints at work on critical, revenue-impacting systems. James combines hands-on debugging and performance troubleshooting with practical leadership—serving as scrum master and release manager—making him comfortable both in deep technical trenches and in coordinating delivery across teams. He holds a BS in Computer Science from Iowa State University and brings a pragmatic, reliability-first approach to complex engineering challenges.
