Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Cuder is a Software Automation Engineer based in San Diego with over two decades of technical and managerial experience and eight years focused on hands-on software delivery. He builds and automates complex release and integration pipelines—reducing release times and resource needs—using Python, JavaScript, CI tools like Jenkins, and a variety of source control systems across Linux and Windows environments. His background spans embedded graphics work (notably contributing to the WPE WebKit port and GPU/readPixels adjustments) through modem toolchains and large-scale handset releases, reflecting deep expertise in memory-safe graphics rendering and platform-specific integrations. At Apple and previously Intel and Nokia he has designed developer-facing tools and web-based automation that turned manual, error-prone processes into repeatable services. Known for combining low-level systems understanding with pragmatic engineering management, he often surfaces subtle platform issues early through instrumentation and targeted tooling.
