Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Hart is a Principal Software Engineer with a decade of experience building and leading cross-functional teams across backend, frontend, embedded, and DevOps domains. Currently tech lead and product manager for a fuzzer product at Antithesis, he combines hands‑on development with product ownership to ship high‑impact security tooling. Previously he led a 16‑engineer backend team at Medallia, designing APIs and systems that scaled to 100k DAU and delivered dramatic performance improvements (p95 reductions up to 95%). His background in embedded C and firmware—plus experience building bootloaders, self‑tests, and desktop tooling—gives him a rare low‑level perspective that informs robust, performant higher‑level systems. Focused now on distributed systems and software quality, he pairs formal CS training (B.S. in Computer Science with a math minor) with pragmatic delivery and a track record of operational cost and performance optimizations.
