Summary
Davin Lawrence is a software engineer with nine years of hands-on experience bridging AI research, backend systems, and creative audio-visual tooling. After turning a passion for Linux and open source into an NLP role in 2016, he earned an MS in Computer Science from UT Austin and expanded into computer vision, audio synthesis, and multimodal research—his master’s thesis generated visuals from musical and textual inputs. He has built production-facing infrastructure and ML systems across startups and energy trading at Habitat Energy, Vibe Video, and Texas Inventionworks, while also serving as a technical director for a theater collective. Davin’s background as a musician and hardware tinkerer (Teensy, Daisy boards) informs pragmatic, creative solutions to signal and data problems that span research prototypes to backend services. Open to remote, hybrid, or Austin-based roles, he seeks AI/ML or backend opportunities where interdisciplinary thinking accelerates impact.
