Top SchoolJay Sorg is a software engineer with 16 years of hands-on experience building and optimizing remote desktop and thin-client systems, currently contributing at Neutrino Labs from Sunnyvale. His career includes RDP driver and protocol work at ThinLinX and Calista (pre-Microsoft acquisition), and hardware offload collaboration with Microsoft teams, reflecting deep systems and low-level expertise. An active open-source contributor to FreeRDP and legacy rdesktop/xrdp projects, he has implemented bitmap decompression across multiple bit depths and improved X11 and pointer behaviors to enhance real-world UX. He pairs database and application development background with practical system administration and technical support roots, giving him a rare blend of user-focused troubleshooting and protocol-level engineering. Colleagues rely on him for solving tricky rendering and compression bugs that sit at the intersection of performance and compatibility.
