Hey there 👋🏻
I’m Brad
HPC dev, C++/Java enjoyer, and builder of fast things.
I design and ship high-performance systems across HPC clusters, backend services, and developer tools that scale efficiently and make engineers’ lives easier.
OpenMP / OpenMPI Spring Boot PostgreSQL Linux • Arch/RHEL/SUSE
$ cat kitpp/README.md
A reusable C++ utility library for real work.
- Built for clusters
- Zero fluff, just speed
- Batteries included (sane defaults)
About
Curiosity + throughput
I specialize in building systems that bridge high-performance computing and modern software engineering. My work spans distributed simulations, backend services, and developer tools—always with a focus on performance, scalability, and improving engineering workflows.
I’ve optimized memory layouts for large-scale simulations, developed backend services that handle real-world complexity, and created tools that streamline day-to-day tasks for engineers. Beyond my professional work, I bring the same analytical mindset to swing trading and explore new ideas through game-tech projects.
