Senior AI Engineer at Exodus, building developer tooling for one of the most popular crypto wallets out there. Based in Pensacola, Florida with 15+ years of experience shipping software across AI/ML, full-stack development, and data engineering.
At Exodus, I build the behind-the-scenes AI tools that make the team faster. Think developer productivity, platform reliability, and infrastructure that just works. In games I always play support—turns out that's how I like to work too.
So far: AI scheduling features, 50% search performance improvements, infrastructure modernization with zero downtime, and a lot of code reviews. More coming soon that I can't talk about yet.
