Russell Greene is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable, cross-platform systems from low-latency streaming services to C++ library tooling. Based in Boulder, he combines deep build-system and CMake expertise with hands-on backend work—contributing to high-profile open-source projects like Microsoft’s vcpkg and the SRT library to solve platform-specific and concurrency issues. He’s comfortable across languages and stacks, having implemented real-time VOIP/streaming systems, ported large codebases to Linux, and added Bazel rules for Boost. A code-quality zealot and early educator, Russell also mentors and teaches C++ and modern workflows, bringing a measured, test-minded approach to shipping maintainable software.
