Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShawn Matott is a lead software engineer and computational scientist with 11+ years applying high-performance and parallel computing to mission-critical problems in defense, research, and environmental modeling. He blends deep numerical modeling and uncertainty/sensitivity analysis expertise with hands-on systems engineering—ranging from MPI/OpenMP/CUDA clusters to real-time embedded systems at Northrop Grumman. Skilled across Python, R, C/C++, Fortran and ML frameworks, he reliably translates complex models into production-ready tools and trains teams to use them. His background spans academic research (PhD) and applied engineering, including building MPI-parallel optimizers and integrating heterogeneous cluster management with PXE and job schedulers. Known for clear communication to non-technical stakeholders, he often bridges the gap between cutting-edge simulation methods and operational deployment. Based in Buffalo, NY, he combines a rare mix of scientific rigor, low-level networking/socket experience, and practical embedded systems delivery.
