Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNeil Tallim is a Principal Software Developer with 14 years of experience building resilient, maintainable systems that blend well-understood technologies and obscure RFC features to solve real-world business problems. He designs and implements end-to-end solutions—from Linux-based OS and firmware to distributed telemetry, rolling update infrastructures, and self-configuring layer‑2/3 networking—favoring open systems and long-lived, auditable designs over quick fixes. At 3D-P he’s led work on asynchronous orchestration for thousands of endpoints, a distributed telemetry and warehousing platform, an open-source iperf3 replacement, and modular hardware test frameworks that reduce regulatory and manufacturing friction. Comfortable working solo or in very small teams, Neil excels when given context, constraints, and autonomy to invent sustainable solutions without handholding. Outside of engineering he applies linguistics, algorithmic thinking, and hands-on electronics to problems in NLP, software-defined networking, and embedded systems—alongside a steadfast refusal to work on Windows platforms.
