Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Walker is a software engineer with 11 years of experience focused on high-performance computing, power management, and operating systems, currently developing lithography modeling and EDA infrastructure at Intel's Logic Technology Development. He specializes in parallelization, optimization, and advanced debugging to squeeze performance and efficiency from large-scale systems—work rooted in his scalable power-management research at Lawrence Livermore. His trajectory blends academic research (University of Arizona) and production engineering, and he maintains separate GitHub profiles for work and personal projects, reflecting a deliberate separation of professional and exploratory code. Based in Portland, Oregon, he pairs systems-level rigor with hands-on sysadmin experience gained at Intel earlier in his career. Outside of work he pursues meticulous collecting hobbies—coins and rocks—and outdoor adventures like backpacking and scuba, hinting at a methodical curiosity that informs his engineering approach.
