# Connor Tench > Senior software engineer Location: Oakland, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/connortench ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Cruise Jan 2022 – Jan 2025 | San Francisco, California, United States • Architect and lead developer of camera frame-capture software, enabling simultaneous real-time capture from multiple automotive cameras. Each collection processed and saved multiple GB/s over multiple hours with no data loss. Enabled on-road data collections, imperative to sensor evaluation for future Cruise programs. Multi-threaded C++17; Solectrix hardware; Dell server. • Led multi-team design and development of application displaying raw output from connected camera and real-time statistics (e.g. pixel histogram). Massive performance improvements over legacy, Python-based visualizer. Qt5, multi-threaded C++17. • Mentored junior hardware engineer in Python and object-oriented programming fundamentals. • Built and designed Python application that crops traffic light images from previously recorded drive video. Reported color statistics of each TL for disparity analysis. Detected TLs via YOLOv4, built/run in separate Docker container and exposed via custom Python Flask API. • Developed software pipeline for processing frame data on a state-of-the-art ISP chip. Used experimental features of chip to process and clone single-frame inputs, allowing for direct com- parison of reference frame processing results from multiple ISP tunings in parallel. ### Senior Software Developer @ Doma (fka States Title) Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area I helped the Doma Comms team implement, test, debug, release, and support a web service that receives, intelligently classifies, processes, stores, and surfaces title/escrow emails to Doma’s Operations team. At the time of my departure, the service handled roughly 10,000 emails per business day (though the number was growing so fast that it may have been even larger, and certainly is now). The service used Node, TypeScript, Express, React, and PostGres. ### Software Developer @ OSIsoft Jan 2016 – Jan 2020 | San Leandro, CA I was member of the PI Server team, which was responsible for making sure that data fed into OSI's PI System was stored safely, accurately, and with as small a memory/storage footprint as possible. Small selection of relevant work: - Configured server hosting IdentityServer4 instance to accept TLS connections; implemented and extensively documented C# (IdentityServer4) and C++ (Boost.Beast) clients which connect to server securely, acquire token, and use token to access protected resources - Acted as mentor on Git source control during migration of PI Server code from Team Foundation Version Control, and led team trainings on Git fundamentals and best practices ### Research Assistant @ Lehigh University Jan 2015 – Jan 2016 Parallel implementation of 3D Growcut segmentation, used on MRI volumes. Data provided by ABIDE (http://fcon_1000.projects.nitrc.org/indi/abide/). ### Front- and Back-End Developer for Founder's Day Performance Experience @ Lehigh University Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 | Bethlehem, Pennslyvania See attached link for video and press release. I designed, implemented, and tested a mobile web application for collecting real-time audience input during the premiere of "Darest Thou Now, O Soul," composed by Dr. Steven Sametz. Input from the audience affected the display on a 10'x10'10' cube of 340 LED lights, hanging from the ceiling of the performance space. There were about 2,000 present for the premiere: half were in Lehigh's Packer Memorial Chapel, where we performed, and half were watching a live video broadcast from Grace Hall. Both groups were able to use my app during the performance. I wrote client-side JavaScript animations, designed a simple queue system to ensure relative synchrony across audience members' phones, and created a web server to both capture all audience input as well as to broadcast "next animation" messages to all phones and to the LED cube. ### Technology, Research, and Communications Writing Fellow @ Lehigh University Jan 2013 – Jan 2015 Each semester, I was paired up with an undergraduate course requiring a significant number of written assignments. For each assignment, I read each student's first draft, offered written commentary in response to their writing, and met with them in person to discuss their original goals and revision plans. ### Vision-Based Human Activity Detection Researcher @ Lehigh University Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 Using video from wireless cameras, investigated and developed real-time methods for detecting the presence and activities of people in my work space. Programs written in C++, using the OpenCV library. ### Summer Research Assistant @ Lehigh University Jan 2013 – Jan 2013 ### Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates Participant @ Mississippi State University Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 ## Education ### Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Computer Science Lehigh University Jan 2011 – Jan 2016 ### Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science Lehigh University Jan 2011 – Jan 2015 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/connor-tench --- Source: https://flows.cv/connortench JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/connortench/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-22
