Summary
Zach Duguid is a senior software engineer with nine years of experience who blends advanced engineering with ocean science research, currently building systems at Polimorphic after leading engineering at Rotor. He holds graduate training through the MIT‑WHOI Joint Program and an MS from MIT, and his early research on AUV path planning, glider battery integration, and sonar-based bathymetry informs a pragmatic, data-driven approach to embedded and systems software. Zach moves comfortably between research and product engineering—shipping production software at companies like Caliper while applying machine learning techniques from academic collaborations at the University of Sydney and CSAIL. An outdoors enthusiast and lifelong learner, he brings the same curiosity that drives his skiing and hiking to tackling complex, multidisciplinary problems.
