Top SchoolSeth Morton is a Lead Software Engineer with 14 years of experience applying scientific rigor to practical software solutions, currently leading a small engineering team at Intel in Beaverton, Oregon. He excels in Python and C++, building tooling, data pipelines, web UIs, and both SQL and NoSQL storage to automate repetitive tasks and improve data quality for RET workflows. Seth blends research-grade modeling (PhD-level chemistry) with production engineering—having implemented high-performance scientific code and later translated that discipline into developer training, DevOps, and QA practices. He has a track record of lifting non-software engineers into effective contributors by creating curricula, templates, and best-practice training across his organization. An active open-source contributor, he improved usability and type safety in the jaraco/path library by enhancing TempDir behavior, adding iglob, and introducing type hints. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, Seth thrives at the intersection of domain science and reliable, well-tested software.
