Summary
Thurman Gillespy is a detail-oriented software engineer in Seattle with nine years of professional experience and a strong background in C/C++, Java, Linux tooling, and test-driven development. Transitioning from a long career as a diagnostic radiologist and academic, he brings disciplined analytics, leadership, and publication rigor—authoring ~50 peer-reviewed scientific articles and several programming articles—to software design and systems development. He co-authors Connectivecpp, an open-source C++17 networking library, and currently builds AI-enabled workspace clients at Naviraeon Labs while contributing at AstroSweep. Known for clear communication and mentoring, he pairs low-level systems skills (CMake, vcpkg, Catch2, bash/PowerShell) with hands-on hardware and audio electronics hobbies that inform pragmatic, user-focused engineering.
