Summary
Ramon Creager is a seasoned software engineer with 16+ years building control and infrastructure systems for scientific instruments, currently designing and implementing monitor-and-control software for the Green Bank Telescope at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. He brings a rare blend of low-level systems experience (8086 assembly, MSDOS) and modern tooling across C++, Python, Django, PostgreSQL, 0MQ, and Linux. Comfortable across hardware-near code and data streaming, Ramon has delivered instrument drivers, scheduling systems, and spectrometer integrations that keep large-scale research facilities operational. A self-taught polyglot who learned Turbo Pascal through C++ to Python and now explores functional programming in Clojure, he also administers Linux systems and mentors colleagues in new technologies. Based in West Virginia, he excels in environments that value curiosity-driven exploration and long-term operational reliability. An underappreciated strength is his persistence in maintaining and modernizing decades-old scientific software so it continues to serve cutting-edge research.
