Senior🎓
Top SchoolZack Lalanne is a Staff Software Engineer in Austin with 13 years of experience building embedded systems, Linux-based tooling, and CI/CD infrastructure at scale. He brings deep domain expertise from a long tenure at Texas Instruments—designing cross-compiling build environments, managing SDK automation and Jenkins pipelines, and evangelizing reproducible developer workflows with Docker, Vagrant, and Conan. Now at Google, he focuses on improving developer velocity and reliability across complex software stacks while maintaining a hands-on engineering approach. An active contributor to embedded open source (notably adding GPIO interrupt and MSP430 DriverLib support to the Energia Arduino fork), he blends low-level firmware insight with modern DevOps practices. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic tooling that turns brittle builds and tests into repeatable, observable processes.
