Summary
Po Cheah is a seasoned software developer with 19 years of experience building distributed and client/server systems, parallel processing tools, and web applications. Currently at Icetec Inc, he brings deep hands-on expertise across Perl, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Java, and databases from SQLite/MySQL to Cassandra. His background includes long-tenured engineering work at Syncsort and research programming at Columbia University, reflecting both enterprise-grade data processing and academic rigor. Equally comfortable with low-level scripting (Vim script) and web APIs (Twitter, Flickr, Foursquare, Google App Engine), he combines practical systems engineering with a curiosity for elegant tooling. Based in Delaware, he’s the sort of developer who pairs decades of production experience with playful creativity — as hinted by a GitHub bio riffing on Gilbert and Sullivan.
