About

Phil Tenteromano

Senior Software Engineer · NYC Metro Area

I help engineering teams turn ambiguous problems into sensible solutions — leaning on strong fundamentals, team building, and AI to drive productivity and output.

2019 – Present

Professional Software Developer

Full-Stack · Distributed Systems · Team Leadership

The start of my professional career — building scalable solutions across a variety of domains and stacks, including Go, Ruby, Python, and JavaScript.

2019

M.S. Data Science — Fordham University

Graduate School of Arts and Sciences

A one-year program merging mathematics, statistics, and machine learning. I dove into neural networks, deep learning, and the full statistical toolkit — a challenging pivot from pure CS that gave me a lasting appreciation for the field. Funded by the remainder of my GI Bill.

2016 – 2018

B.S. Computer Science — Fordham University

Lincoln Center Campus · Manhattan

Enrolled at Fordham's Manhattan campus the summer after leaving the Army and graduated in under three years. C++, OOP, and Operating Systems gave me a strong foundation — and I was hooked from the first semester.

2012 – 2016

U.S. Army — Ammunitions Specialist

Active Duty · South Korea · Iraq · Fort Bliss

Served four years on active duty. I was stationed at Camp Casey in South Korea — meaningful to me because my grandfather served in the Korean War — then Fort Bliss, Texas, before deploying to Iraq with an Apache aviation brigade. The Army gave me a framework for leadership, working under pressure, and learning fast that I still rely on every day.
