Connor Tess

I am a senior software engineer and cyber data scientist with a track record of designing and delivering production systems that improve performance and scalability. I write maintainable, efficient code and lead re-architecture efforts to meet demanding operational needs.

At Centripetal I rewrote a device management application from Clojure to C++ to improve performance, scalability, and maintainability, and I re-architected an analysis pipeline to handle billions of logs daily. I have built fast REST services, event-driven alert systems, and backend systems for monitoring and upgrading device software.

I have led teams and projects from whiteboard concepts to production, managing infrastructure, services, and team members while mentoring engineers in parallel and concurrent programming and best practices. My background includes research roles where I applied machine learning to summarization and medical imaging problems.

I hold multiple patents related to homoglyphic domain detection and generation, and I’m completing a Master of Science in Computer Science. I seek roles where I can build scalable, secure systems, lead technical teams, and deliver measurable operational impact.
