Out of scope in this case means "we don't wanna pay you"

Hi, I'm Tucker.

I'm a Senior Systems Engineer who specializes in making complicated systems actually work. My background is primarily in C and C++, Linux, embedded systems, networking, and low-level software development.

Over the past 8+ years I've worked everywhere from bootloaders, firmware, and Linux kernel modules to networking daemons, distributed systems, protocol implementations, backend services, and production user-space applications. I'm comfortable moving between hardware bring-up, operating systems, networking stacks, and application-layer software depending on what the problem requires.

I have particularly deep expertise in Linux and wireless networking, including 802.11 protocol development, Linux networking subsystems, hostapd/wpa_supplicant, OpenWRT-based platforms, authentication systems, cryptography, and large-scale connectivity infrastructure. My work has resulted in conference talks, published papers, patents, and contributions to major open-source networking projects. I'm additionally involved in standards bodies like the WFA, IEEE, and CSA, so very well versed in Wi-Fi infrastructure, standards, and implementation.

I tend to thrive in environments where engineers are trusted to solve difficult technical problems, own systems end-to-end, and ship software that customers actually use. Whether it's debugging kernel crashes, chasing race conditions across distributed systems, designing protocols, optimizing performance, or bringing up entirely new platforms, I'm happiest when working close to the technology.

Currently interested in systems programming, embedded Linux, infrastructure, backend engineering, networking, security, developer tooling, and performance-critical software.

If you need someone who can move comfortably between kernel space, user space, networking stacks, operating systems, back-end dev, front-end, mobile, and production software without needing n-many separate specialists, I'd be happy to chat.

I'm Tucker, an industrious senior software engineer with 7+ years of experience as both an individual contributor and technical lead across non-profits, for-profit product development companies, and research labs.

I am a generalist with a very broad set of experience, with expertise in system's programming using strongly typed languages. I've done everything from bare-metal assembly code, to FPGA gateware, to Linux kernel modules, to Windows GUI work, to front-end web development. Very "T shaped".

I'm also a seasoned public speaker, having given talks at various conferences including NetworkX, prpl Summit, and SCTE Expo. Quite happy giving customer-facing demos, too.

My ideal role is where software is the product, and I can leverage my expertise in high-performance, resource-critical environments that value deep systems knowledge.

If you're looking for an industrious engineer who adapts quickly and delivers reliably, please reach out. :^)

I'm a senior software engineer with 7+ YoE.

I've acted as both an IC and a team lead. Very comfortable in almost any language or business domain -- from front-end web UI work to DSP assembly and FPGA gateware. Just point me in a direction.
