Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Raneri is a pragmatic software engineer and founder with 11 years of experience building high-performance networked systems, from Intel DPDK-based DDoS mitigation to a global low-latency game hosting network (AS400799) serving hundreds of servers. He combines deep systems and networking skills in C/C++ and Go with production Java and Python experience, and has contributed backend improvements to the Pufferfish high-performance Minecraft server fork. At Boeing he modernizes avionics training platforms with Qt/C++ and CI/CD practices, while his entrepreneurial work at Pufferfish Studios and HelixNodes blends architecture, cost-driven optimization, and vendor management. He’s equally comfortable reverse-engineering proprietary test data for semiconductor AOI tooling as he is driving organic growth through SEO and social strategies—an unusual mix of low-level engineering and customer-facing business acumen. Based in Missouri, he leverages this hybrid skill set to deliver scalable, cost-efficient infrastructure and reliable production software.
