Nigel Bess is a Senior Software Engineer and full-stack generalist based in Berkeley with eight years of experience building production software and architectures across hardware-integrated and web systems. A UCSB-trained mechanical engineer now completing an MS in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, he blends hands-on coding with system-level architecture—prioritizing robust architecture over quick fixes. At FLIR he led projects that doubled production throughput and designed data collection, analysis, and UI systems for factory-critical products; at Fulfil he continues to deliver scalable software solutions. He has a track record of taking solo projects from prototype to production (including automated neuroscience rigs and research games) and a pragmatic “I build things” approach that spans databases, embedded systems, and user-facing interfaces.
