Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Synnott is a veteran software engineer and architect with four decades of experience who now focuses on on-device ML/AI tooling as Founding Distinguished Engineer at Rig AI. His career spans low-level systems work—C/C++, x86 assembly, CLR internals and JIT-based security products—to modern cloud and streaming platforms, demonstrating rare depth across runtimes, compilers and production services. He has led and built .NET divisions, shipped commercial security products that manipulate IL/CLR behavior, and driven real-time analytics and scaling for media platforms. Based in Spain, he combines hands-on coding with product ownership and a history of founding and leading small companies, bringing both entrepreneurial grit and deep technical craftsmanship. An occasional paradox: despite 43 years in software his listed "experience years" on profiles is 10, reflecting a recent focus on AI/LLM-era product engineering.
