Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSpencer Baugh is a pragmatic software engineer based in New York with 12 years of experience building low-latency, production-grade systems across finance and infrastructure. He spent six years at Two Sigma maintaining C++ HW/SW order gateways and implementing numerous binary protocol clients/servers, and he led firm-wide initiatives for end-to-end test automation and a company rollout of Nix for safer, unprivileged software access. More recently he works at an undisclosed financial institution, continuing to apply his expertise in performance-sensitive systems. Early internships at Pure Storage and Liquidnet reflect a strong systems and Linux background, including upstream kernel contributions. Outside of conventional roles he’s taken unconventional detours—like a year as “Chief Gardener”—hinting at a hands-on, methodical problem solver who values practical tooling and operational rigor.
