John Arrandale is a versatile software engineer and technical operations manager with nine years of hands-on experience spanning programming, DevOps, server infrastructure, PCB design, and live theater production. Currently managing SHED Technical Operations at RIT while building custom software solutions at ThirdVantage, he translates client requirements into practical, deployable systems and bridges backstage technical workflows with production-grade infrastructure. His internship work includes automation at scale with Cisco Meraki, creating parsers for Fortinet configs, and full-stack SDLC experience (Angular, Flask, Redis) that inform his pragmatic approach to tooling and CI/CD. Equally at ease designing lighting and audio rigs as he is writing automation scripts, John brings a multidisciplinary perspective that often surfaces unconventional but effective integrations between physical systems and software. Outside work he’s pursuing a Private Pilot Certificate, reflecting a persistent appetite for technical skill-building and disciplined systems thinking.
