Vetted Software Engineers in Texas

“Project lead who restored a 1999 vintage museum robotics exhibit by inventorying and integrating legacy systems, reverse engineering original behavior, and reimplementing it in a modern codebase. Notably optimized Tesseract OCR and machine-vision pipelines to run on a 400MHz Pentium III with 256MB RAM while bringing up and tuning degraded FireWire IIDC cameras using scarce legacy documentation.”

“Early engineering hire at The Coaching Market (B2B2C e-learning startup) who owned re-engineering core REST APIs (FastAPI) and shipping an enhanced Next.js UI, plus automating most deployments via CircleCI/Vercel. Strong in data-driven iteration (surveys/Jira/Slack + Google Analytics, A/B tests) and reliability/performance improvements with measurable impact (30% less downtime, 40% faster releases, 25% faster loads).”
