Senior🎓
Top SchoolRic Evans-Jacquez is a Research Software Engineer with nine years of experience building massively parallel data pipelines and distributed systems for astrophysics, primarily powering the IceCube Neutrino Observatory’s petabyte-scale processing at the South Pole. He designs and operates large-scale, concurrent infrastructures—leveraging Kubernetes, HTCondor, RabbitMQ/Pulsar, S3/GCP, and CI/CD tooling—to process billions of events across hundreds of thousands of CPUs. Comfortable in remote, asynchronous collaborations with global teams, he combines full-stack microservice development with DevOps automation, semantic versioning, and reproducible Python packaging. A committed open-source advocate and active GitHub contributor, he translates research needs into production-grade, reusable software that accelerates scientific discovery. Beyond engineering, he brings a practitioner’s background in healthcare EHR systems and astronomical alerting prototypes, giving him a rare blend of domain breadth and production-scale systems expertise.
