Senior🎓
Top SchoolPat Gunn is a seasoned Site Reliability Engineer and systems programmer with 11+ years building and operating large-scale infrastructure for research and industry, now working on storage engineering at a major tech company in Dublin. He blends deep Unix internals, systems programming and platform design with scientific literacy from long-term roles supporting neuroscience and imaging research at the Flatiron Institute and as maintainer of open-source scientific pipelines like CaImAn. Comfortable digging from userland down to OS and firmware, he has led platform migrations, written tooling for release and config management, and contributed fixes to cornerstone scientific projects such as NumPy. He enjoys mentoring and teaching Unix, Python and SQL, prefers technical problems that won’t be boring, and is equally at home designing distributed systems as supporting academic researchers. He’s open to consulting, board service or eventual CTO/cofounder roles that leverage his rare mix of research empathy and production-grade engineering.
