Richard Cardone is a Research Associate and seasoned software engineer with 11+ years in research and engineering roles and a total of decades of experience spanning Java (17 years) and C/C++. He has a strong track record building reliable, secure systems for high-stakes domains—from scientific computing at TACC to clinical back-ends, database performance at MongoDB, and trusted electronic voting research at IBM. Richard combines rigorous academic training (MS and PhD in Computer Science) with hands-on architecture and performance tuning, including benchmarking and cross-database comparisons. He’s comfortable moving between research and production: re-architecting EHR platforms, filing a patent on prescription engagement, and improving MongoDB’s reliability and benchmarks. Based in Austin, he favors teams where creativity, design judgment, and measurable technological impact drive results.
