Tripp Cashel

Principal Engineer (January 2026–present) · Staff Software Engineer & Technical Lead (2021–2025)

• Architected the original prototype agent platform and supporting gateway with engineering leadership and teammates; guided a teammate’s implementation of the AI gateway.
• Designed a shared MCP tool layer for internal and customer-facing agents; parts of the design and configuration continue in the successor platform.
• Developed OAuth integration, caller identity, account context, rate limiting, and audit logging with the gateway team.
• Led a team implementing auction logic and data-science algorithms in C++. Helped design and implement a metrics framework that moved checks to compile time.

Software Engineer → Senior Software Engineer & Technical Lead (2020)

• Reverse engineered an undocumented PHP microservice and reimplemented it in C++; the resulting service became limited by the server’s network interface.
• Led design and implementation of an auction-pricing change across the auction, beacon generation, and logging.
• Built a multithreaded C++ benchmarking tool and introduced compiler caching.

Electrical Engineer

• Engineered turbine and generator vibration monitoring and generator breaker protection; diagnosed operating-plant issues remotely and on site.
• Led technicians through a fleet gas-valve-driver upgrade and served as lead engineer for vibration-monitoring hardware on a new engine.
