Summary
🤩
RockstarDave Plummer is an Engineering Manager based in Redmond with a seven-year track record of hands-on software and embedded systems development. A former Microsoft developer with a knack for tooling, his GitHub shows practical contributions from ESP32 IoT clients to high-performance prime sieves in C#/C++/Python. He blends low-level build and portability fixes with parallelization and performance tuning, demonstrating both system-level thinking and delivery focus. As a manager he pairs this technical depth with pragmatic problem-solving that stabilizes build systems and accelerates delivery. Not obvious from the title: he has experience shipping small but impactful utilities and ports, reflecting an engineer who values durable, well-crafted developer tools. He brings product-aware engineering to teams that need reliable systems engineering and performance-first implementations.

Mar 2021 - Dec 2022
Prime number projects in 100+ programming languages, to compare their speed - and their programmer's cleverness
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:11 reviews, 33 commits, 28 PRs in 1 year 9 months
Contributions summary:Dave primarily focused on optimizing the prime number sieve implementation. They refactored the timing code to simplify it and avoid resetting the object every pass. Furthermore, the user added a parallel implementation of the prime sieve using threads and updated build scripts to use the clang++ compiler. Finally, they fixed style issues and warnings.
