Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Smith is a Principal Software Developer with 12 years of experience, currently shaping core systems at SingleStore from Norman, Oklahoma. He excels at combining seemingly unrelated technologies to craft elegant, pragmatic solutions, with hands-on expertise in Python, C, Go, shell scripting, JavaScript, and CI tooling like Jenkins. Kevin pairs deep engineering chops with strong communication—authoring books and conference papers and speaking regularly—so complex ideas are both implemented and clearly explained. His academic background spans physics, electronics, and electrical engineering (Bachelor’s magna cum laude; Master’s), which informs a methodical, systems-oriented approach to software design. Colleagues rely on his persistence: once he commits to solving a hard problem he iterates until the solution not only works but “feels right.” He brings a rare blend of low-level coding ability and public-facing technical leadership that accelerates teams and products.
