Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Westerfield is a veteran software engineer and entrepreneur with four decades of experience designing and shipping developer tools, scientific simulation, and safety-critical applications. As President of Byte Works and former lead at ARES and Stellar Science, he has built products ranging from compilers and development environments to surrogate modeling platforms used by the Air Force, Navy, and Missile Defense Agency. He combines low-level systems craftsmanship (Apple IIGS tooling, compilers, assemblers) with modern mobile and ML-enabled solutions (iOS apps, Bluetooth LE, surrogate modeling on supercomputers). His projects have real-world impact—educational software, disease surveillance used in Hurricane Katrina, vibration analysis for worker safety, and defense-grade modeling tools. Comfortable leading teams or coding solo, he focuses on practical, auditable solutions that push technology limits while serving domain experts rather than forcing them to be ML specialists. Based in Albuquerque, he pairs an MS in Physics with a deep history of bridging scientific rigor and production-grade software.
