Summary
🤩
RockstarAdam Scarr is a Machine Learning Engineer based in Melbourne with 13 years of software engineering experience, currently applying ML at Cash App while also holding a senior engineering role at Flip. He brings full-stack instincts to ML problems, having contributed to projects from UI tooling (CodeGlance’s IntelliJ mini-map rendering) to backend parsers (a Go GraphQL parser), showing fluency across languages and layers. Adam excels at translating complex specifications into robust implementations—whether optimizing rendering and scrolling in a plugin or defining AST structures for a parser—so he bridges research, tooling and production-ready code. Colleagues can expect a pragmatic engineer who pairs careful system design with hands-on coding across front-end, backend and ML domains.
