Summary
Michael Dougher is a pragmatic software engineer with roughly two decades of hands-on experience building C/C++ systems for real-time packet processing, from VoIP call recording at AudioCodes to market data ingestion at SIG. He pairs low-level protocol reverse-engineering skills and RFC-driven design with growing expertise in Python and C++, recently applying those strengths at L3Harris and Lockheed Martin. Comfortable bridging engineering and customer-facing roles, he has a track record of troubleshooting complex telecommunication and data-streaming problems and producing practical automation and test tooling. A New Jersey-based engineer with a Rutgers ECE degree, he also explores C# projects on GitHub, reflecting a habit of sharpening skills outside of work. Unusually, his background shows how deep experience in VoIP packet analysis maps directly to high-throughput market data systems.
