Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Power is a Senior Software Engineer based in Austin with seven years of hands-on experience modernizing CI/CD, refactoring legacy C and Python codebases, and integrating third-party hardware into real-time systems. At NI he decoupled driver and application release cycles, migrated Jenkins pipelines to Azure Pipelines, and built VeriStand plugins that bridge hardware and real-time software—work that reduced build failures and sped troubleshooting. He pairs deep embedded and test-system expertise from graduate research and DAQ product support with proven leadership as chair of a 40+ engineer support steering committee. Comfortable both shipping code and owning the customer experience, he’s equally at home debugging FPGA/real-time layers or mentoring engineers. Outside of work he channels teamwork and creativity into beach volleyball and running tabletop RPG sessions, signaling strong facilitation and systems-thinking skills.
