Senior🎓
Top SchoolJanine Aquino is a Software Engineer IV with 17 years at NCAR, specializing in building and modernizing real-time instrument control, data ingestion, and visualization systems for airborne atmospheric research. She blends deep scientific computing experience across C/C++, Fortran, Python and legacy languages with practical system administration on UNIX/Linux and satellite-linked networks. Janine leads instrument development projects, mentors junior engineers, and has a strong track record converting legacy codebases and complex build environments into reproducible, modern workflows. Her work enables scientists to remotely control instruments, stream real-time data from research aircraft, and reliably archive heterogeneous atmospheric datasets. Based in Lafayette, Colorado, she pairs an academic background in physics and computer science with hands-on engineering that bridges instrumentation firmware to cloud/ground data systems. A practical problem-solver, she excels at decomposing tangled research requirements into maintainable software and operational procedures.
