Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGrant Stafford is a versatile software engineer with 10 years of experience building production systems across finance, applied ML, and cloud networking, currently contributing to a Google project that automates network hardware operations for nearly 1,000 buildings. He’s shipped high-impact services in Go, Python, and TypeScript that reduced operational load by 30%, extended SDN support across multiple device vendors, and scaled secure network features to 40% more offices. Previously he cut latency and model-training stages at an ML startup, and built real-time stress-test and risk systems at Citadel and Optiver that materially improved reporting cadence and reduced financial exposure. A practiced instructor and published researcher on social media manipulation, he pairs hands-on engineering with an ability to explain complex concepts to varied audiences. Based in Sunnyvale, he combines systems-level thinking with practical automation—once even backpacking a stretch of the Appalachian Trail during a non-compete hiatus.
