Summary
Erik Rintala is a software engineer with nine years of experience building backend systems, infrastructure, and data pipelines, currently based in Seattle. He specializes in cost-conscious cloud-to-self-hosted migrations, scalable ETL, and production support for mission-critical applications, often bridging data scientists and engineering through Jupyter-integrated workflows. His work at Project Alea/Linecruncher includes deploying Dockerized services, PostgreSQL ops, and running ML models that generate thousands of fantasy-sports lineups daily across MLB, NHL, and NBA. Comfortable in C, Java, and Python, he combines a strong academic foundation (BS Computer Science, 3.8) with hands-on accelerator experience from 42 USA and blockchain training at Consensys Academy. Colleagues rely on him for steady operational ownership and pragmatic model deployment—he’s as likely to debug networking or database issues as he is to iterate on a new prediction model.
