Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Gerard is an intermediate software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building high-performance, real-time systems in agile teams, currently contributing at MITRE after progressing from multiple internships there. He combines systems-level C++ and Rust engineering—redesigning multi-threaded data managers and applying Rust to cloud scheduling—with ML research expertise using PyTorch and DGL for spatial-temporal mobility analysis. David’s work spans embedded-esque signal processing (ACARS/IQ buffering and GPS anomaly detection), containerized Python simulations with geospatial visualizations, and practical data pipelines for disinformation detection in industry settings. A University of Massachusetts Amherst honors student with a 4.0 across BS and MS programs, he pairs rigorous academic research (including HPC Slurm workflows) with production-focused delivery. Colleagues note his ability to translate thesis-grade systems research into scalable, interoperable software components.
