Summary
Paul Wolfenbarger is a Principal Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories with over 15 years delivering high-performance computing, DevOps, and engineering software across defense and industrial domains. He blends systems-level thinking with hands-on development—leading DevOps product strategy, coordinating multi-group technical impacts, and mentoring students while shepherding complex codebases. His background in structural engineering and automated meshing informs a practical approach to geometry, robotics path planning, and simulation tooling. Paul gravitates toward high-risk, high-reward problems—space debris capture, asteroid retrieval, and energy system strategy—where technical feasibility outpaces available funding. Based in Albuquerque, he pairs deep technical breadth with a knack for translating speculative ideas into demonstrable prototypes.
