Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Emminizer is a Senior Software Engineer and architect with over a decade of experience building full-stack C++ systems, currently leading an eight-developer team at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. He specializes in high-performance, real-time software for electronic warfare, electromagnetic scattering, mapping and simulation, and has driven flagship visualization tools used for live and post-processed operational data. He designed cross-application plugin and distributed integration architectures that let teams extend systems in MATLAB, Python, or C++, and built a CI system that automates multi-target builds and tests across physical and virtual Linux and Windows environments. His long-standing open-source contributions to OpenSceneGraph and osgEarth include fixes and GL3/Core improvements that broaden graphics compatibility—work that directly complements his rework of internal graphics engines and OpenGL modernization efforts. With an M.S. from Johns Hopkins and a pragmatic focus on shipping reliable engineering in constrained operational domains, he combines deep systems knowledge with a knack for enabling multidisciplinary teams.
