Evan Mcclure is a Senior Software Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with 11+ years building cloud-native backends, Kubernetes platforms, and distributed systems across companies from Splunk and Cisco to Aerospike. A pragmatic generalist, he pairs deep systems work—IoT/firmware for smart grids, network optimization, security, and a coauthored patent reducing firmware upgrade windows—to hands-on platform and DevOps engineering. Go is his current primary language (with significant Java and C++ experience), and he’s contributed notable backend and gRPC work to the Go-based ML/NLP project spago. Academically grounded with an MS and BS from Santa Clara University, he’s actively learning Rust and ML while aiming to grow into an impactful staff-level engineering role.

Contributions summary:Evan significantly contributed to the back-end functionality of the `spago` library by implementing features to measure API function execution time and adding time measurements to several existing API methods in the BERT server. They also worked on refactoring the `discriminate`, `predict`, and `answer` functions within the BERT server. Furthermore, the user added support for server customization, including TLS configuration, and implemented gRPC services for BERT and NER functionalities, along with the associated client commands. They also refactored the build process by including static linking and CGO, which reduced the Dockerfile complexity.
