Summary
Douglas Kuhn is a founder and senior AI engineer with 14 years of experience building production-grade, low-latency systems that bridge AI, DevOps, and blockchain. He ships real-time speech-to-speech agents (NINA) and architects resilient distributed infrastructureâreducing client outages to 1% during production transitionsâwhile deploying validators and staking mechanisms across Polkadot/Substrate ecosystems. Equally fluent in Python, Rust, and Go, he combines hands-on model fine-tuning (LoRA on 120 GB audio) with CI/CD, Prometheus/Grafana observability, and Kubernetes orchestration. As an independent consultant he delivers privacy-first, secure DevOps for Web3 projects and open-source tooling that can be deployed in minutes. Based in Portland, he blends a hackerâs curiosity with formal AI training from Stanford, and a quirky developer persona that shows in his playful GitHub bio.
