Summary
Lance Arsenault is a seasoned C/C++ software engineer with over a decade of experience building system-level software and visualization/VR applications across GNU/Linux and other UNIX platforms. With a Ph.D. in Physics and a background teaching and researching at Virginia Tech and UIUC, he blends deep scientific rigor with practical software craftsmanship. He has led development of checkpoint/restart middleware and more recently authors quickstream, an open-source SDR framework, demonstrating applied expertise in real-time and signal-processing systems. Lance pairs hands-on coding and system administration with mentoring and instructional experience, having taught physics and supported visualization labs and simulators. Based in Blacksburg, VA, he thrives on projects that intersect engineering, visualization, and low-level systems, and often surfaces subtle performance and design trade-offs that improve reliability.
