Sean Mcbride is an AI engineer and former Army officer with a decade of systems and low-level software experience, now focused on applying AI to modernize and de-clunkify legacy enterprise mainframes. He has built bytecode interpreters and cross-platform serialization used billions of times daily at CrowdStrike, and led research applying WebAssembly to resource-constrained devices at GWU. His background spans mainframe modernization at IBM and the IRS, cloud migration architecture for the FAA, and practical product launches for defense customers, combining deep processor empathy with software craftsmanship. Known for congenial collaboration and mentoring junior engineers, he blends rigorous research instincts with hands-on production engineering and a quiet mission-driven ethic. An enthusiast of the Unix philosophy and legacy systems, he seeks pragmatic, AI-powered paths to make decades-old enterprise codebases more maintainable and resilient.
