Hi, I’m Russell Sotiropoulos—a software engineer and musician who loves building fast, reliable systems and making rich audio-visual experiences. I earned a BS in Computer Science from Tufts with a music engineering minor, and I’ve been applying software craft to cloud-scale problems at AWS, while staying deeply involved in music tech through events work and hands-on audio production. Between coding sprints and stage setups, I enjoy collaborating across disciplines—designing memory-management improvements, streamlining incident response, and delivering polished concert recordings from live to post-production. I’m excited to keep blending software and music to create delightful, performant experiences.…Hi, I’m Russell Sotiropoulos—a software engineer and musician who loves building fast, reliable systems and making rich audio-visual experiences.
