Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCJ Kindel is a software engineer with a decade of experience building production systems across cloud, spatial computing, and AI, currently contributing at Foundry after leading full-stack AI platform work at Griptape. He has deep experience shipping ML-enabled services—owning RAG, LoRA, diffusion, and SaaS offerings—and previously developed database, analytics, and SageMaker integrations at AWS. Comfortable in fluid, early-stage contexts, he rapidly establishes domain knowledge, delivers end-to-end solutions, and codifies learnings to uplift teams and product stability. CJ’s background spans AR/VR and spatial computing at Amazon Nimble Studio and Sumerian, giving him a practical edge when integrating immersive or data-intensive features. Based in Leavenworth, WA, he pairs an active outdoor life (ski, hike) with a pragmatic engineering mindset that seeks one-way and two-way doors when making architectural decisions.
