Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristiaan Swanepoel is a senior software engineer in Wānaka with 11 years' experience blending full‑stack web development, machine learning, statistics and production data engineering. He builds scalable cloud-native systems (Typescript/React/Node, AWS via Pulumi/CDK) and delivers Python-based generative AI solutions, including LLM-driven RAG and production evaluation workflows. His background spans biotech and aviation—developing predictive models for noisy fermentation processes and customer forecasting—so he’s comfortable translating messy scientific data into robust, deployable products. A former doctoral candidate in computational evolution, he brings Bayesian and variational inference expertise to practical ML engineering. Colleagues rely on him for end-to-end ownership: stakeholder-facing analysis, software design, and infrastructure automation that push research ideas into production.
