Cynthia Schomp
Systems Architect & Engineer
Veteran systems architect with 20+ years of engineering spanning U.S. Air Force AC-130H propulsion and Lockheed Martin 2SOPS GPS satellite operations.
I design deterministic client-side engines, zero-trust platforms, and resilient system architectures. This site is my open workbench—where I share the software I build, dissect architectural trade-offs, and document systems that don’t crash.

Systems architecture & technical writing
Essays on building durable software, client-side computing economics, zero-trust defenses, and lessons from two decades of engineering.
ESSAY 01
Why Client-Side Computing is the Future of Web Architecture
How offloading compute to modern client browsers eliminates cloud server bills, enhances user privacy by design, and provides instantaneous feedback without backend latency bottlenecks.
ESSAY 02
Lessons from Flightline & Space Ops: Building Systems That Don’t Crash
What maintaining AC-130H gunship engines in the Air Force and supporting Lockheed Martin GPS satellite ground control taught me about defensive systems design, telemetry, and unhandled failure domains.
ESSAY 03
The Architecture of Zero-Trust: Beyond Perimeter Security
Why castle-and-moat firewalls fail in modern distributed environments, and how deterministic least-privilege verification and real-time threat mitigation protect software from internal compromise.
ESSAY 04
Your Agency Does Not Have a Technology Problem
Most software engineering failures aren’t caused by technical frameworks—they happen because of key-person dependencies and fragmented architectural governance.
Engineered for durability.
With two decades of software architecture and defense operations experience, I value deterministic execution, clean interfaces, and low-complexity systems over ephemeral industry trends.
