Summary
Jose Fernandez is a software engineer with a decade of experience who blends low-level systems expertise in C/C++ and assembly with a strong mathematical foundation and ongoing MS in Data Analytics. A former infantryman fluent in English and Spanish (self-taught Russian), he has a demonstrated ability to modernize legacy scientific codebases—having modernized Fortran research code and reimplemented performance-critical modules in C++ to accelerate DOE-focused simulations. He excels at cross-platform migrations without the overhead of managed runtimes, Unix/Windows automation, and performance optimization informed by compiler and assembler toolchains. Now at Google, he brings disciplined engineering, mentoring in mathematics, and a taste for functional languages like Haskell and Common Lisp, reflecting both practical systems thinking and intellectual curiosity. An uncommon strength is translating abstract math (category theory, algebra) into maintainable, high-performance software for domain scientists.
