Senior🎓
Top SchoolRory McLeod is a Staff Software Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building embedded and telematics systems, currently at SiriusXM after leading engineering teams and consulting through his own firm. He blends deep analytical roots in aerospace and mechanical engineering (Stanford MS, advanced studies) with practical expertise in C/C++, C#, Python, Embedded Linux, FreeRTOS and vehicle protocols like J1939 and OBD-II. Rory has a proven track record moving between product startups and enterprise contexts—designing core software at Qualnet, leading Road-iQ development, and delivering telematics analytics for Electric Last Mile Solutions. A fast learner who adapts across languages and stacks (React/Angular for UI work to low-level firmware), he brings both systems thinking and hands-on implementation skills. Less obvious: his background spans propulsion and NASA engineering, giving him a rare blend of physical-systems insight that informs robust embedded design decisions.
