Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichelle Brochmann is a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of professional experience and over a decade of C++ expertise grounded in a Ph.D. in Physics. She transitioned from high-energy physics—where she built ROOT-based analysis tools, fast Monte Carlo simulation code, and measured the W boson mass from collider data—to information security and production software, debugging everything from TLS to Linux kernel filesystem drivers. At Valo Health she’s contributed to event-driven, multithreaded systems and researched quantum-safe cryptography, blending deep numerical modeling skills with practical secure-system engineering. Her background includes implementing neural nets, fluid dynamics solvers, and image-analysis pipelines for astronomical data, demonstrating a breadth across simulation, statistics, and ML. Comfortable across languages (Fortran, Lisp, Matlab, Python, PHP, JavaScript) and tooling, she enjoys tackling low-level problems and prototyping full-stack solutions. Outside work she’s an avid rock climber and gardener, traits that reflect a methodical, persistent approach to hard engineering problems.
