Tanner Lovelace is a Principal Java/C++ Software Engineer with over 20 years building cross-platform systems from embedded Linux distributions to macOS endpoint management. He combines deep systems-level C++ expertise with modern Swift and Go development, having led macOS installer signing/notarization, CI automation, and SwiftUI tooling for endpoint status at Quest Software. His background includes network modeling, data warehousing, and real-time simulation work for DoD contracts, and he has held a D.O.D. Secret Clearance while publishing in Linux Magazine. Comfortable across Unix, Linux, macOS, and Windows, Tanner is as likely to rewrite a legacy build system in CMake as to architect multi-platform CI pipelines. He pairs academic depth (M.S. Computer Science, Johns Hopkins) with practical low-level skills (assembly-era graphics and virtual reality simulator work), making him adept at solving both performance-critical and cross-platform integration challenges.
