Summary
Adam Bates is a Senior Software Engineer with six years of cross-domain experience building scalable systems in finance, AI, blockchain, and scientific computing. With an MS in Computer Science, he has driven high-impact projects—from a tenfold efficiency gain in JPMorgan Chase’s trade routing using Kafka to architecting AWS Aurora migrations and robust automated test suites. He’s led AI-driven products at Width.ai (an AI tutor and NLP-powered application bots) and engineered secure smart contracts and an autonomous profit-allocation system in DeFi at Holy DAO. Adam pairs research-level work (GANs for particle-shower simulation at Jefferson Lab) with production-grade engineering, and recently joined Capital One to continue applying this blend of applied research and systems design. Notably, he often bridges domains by turning prototype ML research into reliable, automated tooling that scales in enterprise environments.
