Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTed Stern is a seasoned software and computational scientist with 14+ years of experience (and a deep engineering pedigree dating back to Cray and Boeing) who now splits time between Malta and remote roles, leading a stealth AI startup while consulting on embedded security. He specializes in high-performance computing, distributed systems, and production-grade optimization—having driven HPC benchmarking at Google, built scalable cloud search and compression systems at red violet, and improved Azure DNS rescue tooling at Microsoft. Ted combines low-level expertise (C++, Fortran, embedded/Unix toolchains) with practical cloud-native design, delivering performance wins like multi-fold storage and query-speed improvements. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics and a UW Python certificate, reflecting both rigorous theory and modern software practice. An understated strength is his track record of translating legacy scientific codes into reproducible, scalable workflows (e.g., contributions to Ramble/Spack ecosystems) that bridge research and production.
