Senior🎓
Top SchoolDouglas Sexton is an experienced software engineer with nine years building scalable backend and full-stack systems across startups and large enterprises, currently contracting from Seattle with recent work on a third-party streaming tipping platform. He has shipped distributed services at Amazon and Discovery Education, designed resilient event-handling and payment onboarding systems, and migrated monoliths to async and microservice architectures using Python, Java, and AWS. At smaller companies he owned end-to-end features, used virtual actors and real-time streams for behavioral data collection, and implemented production-ready tooling like a distributed Bloom filter and metadata publishing libraries. An active contributor to the RLBot project, he has hands-on experience reading game memory and creating autonomous bot behavior—an example of his practical systems-level curiosity that aligns with his growing focus on machine learning and AI.
