Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJohn Compitello is a software engineer with 10 years of experience focused on scalable data and computation-heavy systems, currently working on Google Flights in the Boston/Cambridge area. He has a strong background in distributed computing and linear algebra applied to large-scale genetics and analytics workflows from multiple roles at the Broad Institute, where his optimizations cut compute costs up to 18x and enabled much larger dataset sizes. Comfortable across the stack, he has delivered web performance wins, data pipeline enhancements, and productionized distributed algorithms in Scala and Spark. He mentors interns and translates mathematical insight into practical engineering fixes—evidenced by randomized SVD methods and sparsity tracking to slash storage and compute. John combines academic training in computer science and mathematics with hands-on production experience, making him adept at turning complex numerical problems into efficient, maintainable systems.
