John Morris is an experienced software engineer in Menlo Park with eight years of focused work in distributed systems and geospatial processing, fluent in C++, Python and functional Scala. He has a track record of turning domain knowledge into production tools—from automating chip-design documentation at SiFive to performance-tuning large database engines and crafting GPS post-processing and spatial benchmarks. Comfortable across the stack, he blends design-driven thinking with low-level performance optimization (NUMA, lock elimination, async I/O) and practical integration work for REST, GIS and big-data engines. He seeks collaborative teams where he can push performance and prototype new algorithms, and his background shows both engineering rigor and a willingness to shepherd technical work into real-world impact (e.g., city-level rail noise analysis informing policy).
