Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikki Tebaldi is a Scientific Applications Software Engineer with a decade of experience building cloud-native, reproducible data processing and computational workflows for government and academic science programs. At NASA JPL and UMass Amherst she has architected AWS-native, containerized pipelines and CI/CD automation to operationalize satellite-derived hydrology and oceanography products, while serving as co-investigator on funded research projects. She combines hands-on Python and infrastructure-as-code skills (Terraform, GitHub Actions) with practical DevSecOps practices to deliver secure, high-performance systems that span cloud and HPC. Comfortable leading multi-disciplinary teams, she translates scientific requirements into production-ready APIs and data products and is adept at benchmarking and cost-optimizing compute-heavy workloads. Based in rural Vermont, she brings a rare blend of systems administration roots and research software engineering that helps teams move from prototype algorithms to sustained operational services.
