Gabe Righter

Computer science senior with production experience in embedded systems and release engineering.

About

I'm a computer science senior at Covenant College, graduating in May 2027.

This past summer at Branch Technology, I built an automated firmware update and continuous integration pipeline for industrial robotic arms on a live manufacturing floor. I'm looking for a new-grad software engineering role.
