Summary
Nowell Strite is a Senior Cloud Software Engineer with 17 years of experience building scalable web and cloud systems, currently contributing at NVIDIA from Vermont. He blends deep backend expertise (Python, Django, NodeJS) with frontend and integration work—shipping high-throughput widget platforms and custom elements that improved customer performance and adoption. Nowell has a strong track record of turning Innovation Day prototypes into mission-critical tools, slashing implementation costs and powering production services that serve millions of requests per day. He’s led architectural migrations to cloud ingress, standardized CI/CD and testing ecosystems, and automated complex compliance and onboarding processes across large codebases. A creative problem solver and hands-on technical leader, he’s equally comfortable designing databases and writing infrastructure automation as mentoring teams. Less obvious: he combines long-range systems thinking with a penchant for building internal developer tools and Slack integrations that become central to organizational workflow.
