Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTheodore Derego is a software engineer with 12 years’ experience focused on embedded systems, driver/OS development, and distributed messaging—now building at AWS from Seattle. He has deep practical experience figuring out which code should run where and how data is routed across systems, informed by past roles at Google (cloud performance benchmarking) and robotics work replacing Arduinos with full Linux-based on-board computers. At Google he contributed to the widely used PerfKitBenchmarker, improving object storage benchmarks and multi-stream I/O tests, demonstrating a blend of performance engineering and pragmatic tooling. Theodore’s toolkit spans low-level driver interfaces, cloud storage and block performance, and package manager curiosity, making him comfortable moving across firmware, OS, and cloud stacks. He’s driven by understanding system boundaries and trade-offs, and by turning complex performance questions into reproducible measurements and reliable code.
