# Glenn Fisher > Senior Software Engineer Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/glennfisher I am a software engineer with an electrical engineering background. I love finding solutions to complex problems that make the world a better place. I aim to make ideas come to life—whether with an elegant software solution, original hardware solution, or just a novel approach to the problem. My technical interests and experience bridge a number of disciplines: cloud computing, mobile software development, functional programming, systems development, computer architecture, embedded systems, statistics, big data, and machine learning. I'm passionate about continuing my deep-dive into each of these technical subjects and finding exciting intersections among them. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Slingshot Aerospace Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Austin, Texas Area Slingshot Aerospace is building the next generation of signal processing AI to improve the situational awareness of our defense and commercial customers by drawing insights from satellite, drone, and other contextual data streams. ### Cloud Engineer @ State Street Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Austin, Texas Area Control Plane Team Lead for private cloud platform: • Built a terraform openstack-on-openstack development environment to accelerate the development lifecycle while reducing costs by 90% • Implemented high-availability for uptime during server, rack, or data center failures • Repeatedly recognized as a high performer, cultural leader, and strong team player • Helped define engineering practices, team culture, and project management methodologies to scale the private cloud team from 10 to 40 engineers ### Advisory Software Engineer @ IBM Cloud Experience Lab Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | Austin, Texas Area Scrum master and individual contributor for Watson SDK code generation tool: • Built generation framework to produce high-quality SDKs with less development time • Built support for generating SDKs in Java, Python, Swift, and TypeScript • Received IBM Manager's Choice Award for collaboration across teams • Presented Watson Swift SDK workshop to 1,500+ attendees ### Staff Software Engineer @ IBM Mobile Innovation Lab Jan 2015 – Jan 2016 | Austin, TX Developed an open source Watson Swift SDK for iOS, macOS, and Linux: • Led development as a team lead, scrum master, and individual contributor • Assisted clients with the adoption of Watson services in their production applications • Received IBM Open Source Recognition Aware for contributions to the Watson SDK • Contributed to other projects including a travel planning application, beer tasting recommendation system, and guest lecture for University of Texas CS378 course ### ExtremeBlue Technical Intern @ IBM ExtremeBlue Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 | Austin, TX Developed an OpenStack service for cloud security and compliance automation: • Collaborated with a team of three engineers to architect the service, which includes a database, DevOps deployment tool, REST API, and dashboard front-end. • Responsible for developing a front-end OpenStack dashboard to enable the configuration, verification, and application of compliance profiles. • Pitched to IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, fellows, distinguished engineers, vice presidents, and other executives. ### Engineering Intern @ QuakeFinder Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 | Palo Alto, CA Developed QuakeFinder's MiniStation, an earthquake forecasting system: • Led engineering effort from concept to prototype.
