Know Me More
I'm Jack Vorwald, a Software Engineering Manager
Software Engineering Manager with over a decade of experience leading global teams delivering enterprise-scale network storage solutions across SMB, NFS, FUSE, and S3. An AI-first engineer and leader who leverages AI tooling to drive technical mastery and engineering rigor. Hands-on expertise in Python, C/C++, Bash, and Linux kernel development with a strong foundation in security vulnerability analysis and CVE triage. Co-Chair of both the AI Committee and Security Review Committee at Nasuni.
Beyond my 12+ years in software engineering, I've dedicated 20 years to martial arts training. I hold two black belts, one in Kenpo Karate and most recently in Taekwondo, which I continue to practice actively with my wife. We're currently working toward achieving our 2nd Dan in Taekwondo. This martial arts journey complements my professional work, instilling discipline and focus that enhances my approach to technical challenges. When not coding or training, I pursue my passions for gaming, music, and content creation, bringing a unique blend of technical expertise and creative energy to everything I do.
