Silas Cobb

“Solutions/implementation-focused engineer with payments expertise (Adyen headless Magento integrations, 3DS components) who also builds and troubleshoots agentic LLM workflows using the OpenAI Agents SDK. Experienced in pre-sales technical validation and in tailoring live demos/workshops—e.g., pivoted a Quantum Metric workshop from custom JavaScript instrumentation to no-code analytics based on audience needs.”

“Bootstrapped founder of ByteThirst, a launched browser extension and CLI that monitors and estimates the environmental cost of LLM usage. They are targeting a niche climate-tech/AI space with support for 14 platforms, a freemium subscription model, and a first-mover thesis backed by market research, market sizing, and profit projections.”

“Enterprise implementation/deployment specialist focused on HRMS and payroll systems across APAC customers, combining cloud/hybrid (AWS/Azure/GCP) integration work with strong client-facing delivery. Demonstrated ability to debug complex production issues across application, database, and network layers (e.g., isolating VPN/router congestion) and to tailor Python-based data cleaning/scoring/utilities to customer-specific workflows.”

“Data/ML engineer with end-to-end ownership of donor-data deployments for a university foundation, delivering major performance and data-quality gains (500K+ records; 24h to 6h processing; duplicates 5% to 1%). Has put an LLM-assisted enrichment workflow into production with retrieval-grounded business rules, versioned outputs for traceability, and strong operational rigor around validation, logging, and CI/CD.”
