Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGavin Douglas is a technical co-founder and full‑stack engineer with a decade of hands‑on experience building cloud-native products and tooling. Based in Raleigh and studying Computer Science at NC State, he architects and ships end-to-end systems—most recently building an AI-driven release and growth platform for independent artists using Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Firebase, and GCP. He pairs product-focused frontend work with production-grade backend integrations (OAuth flows for TikTok, Meta, Spotify), analytics pipelines, and low-latency streaming AI features. An active bioinformatics open-source contributor, Gavin has improved Bioconda recipes and microbiome analysis tooling, reflecting uncommon fluency between life‑science pipelines and modern web infrastructure. He owns technical roadmaps, security, and deployment practices, bringing startup grit and reproducible engineering to both research and product contexts.
