Gen Ohta is a versatile software engineer with eight years of experience building production systems across startups and Fortune 500 companies, currently contributing to an AI startup after a recent freelance run. He bridges full-stack web development, data engineering, and SRE/DBA work—shipping scalable APIs, revamping data pipelines, and optimizing LLM-driven tooling that generated tens of thousands of lines of Python for data science tasks. As the second engineer at a billion-dollar AI startup and a former LinkSquares engineer, he has led incident response and standardized APIs used across multiple integrations. He also co-founded a product-focused startup where he delivered a $50k MVP and a 130-component Storybook library, showing both product instincts and attention to reusable design. A former principal technical mentor, he combines hands-on engineering with teaching experience that helped over 70 students land software roles. Based in Olympia, Washington, he offers consulting, code reviews, and trainings with a client-centric, outcome-driven approach.
