Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Schweer is a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building game tech, data platforms, and scalable systems, currently working on a new Unreal-based title at Riot Games. He blends low-level C++ game engine work (including a PyTorch-inspired NN processing engine integrated into League) with Golang systems engineering and production ML deployment, spanning training pipelines, inference, and MLOps. Previously he led data infrastructure and compliance work at DoorDash—designing idempotent Snowflake merges, CDC pipelines, and containerized Airflow—and has a strong background in video streaming and ETL from Adobe. Based in Santa Monica, he contributes occasionally to PyTorch-focused tooling (Pytensor) and pursues N64 homebrew as a hobby, signaling a practical mix of retro-hardware curiosity and modern ML-for-games thinking. Colleagues know him for shipping pragmatic, production-ready solutions that tie research (offline RL, metagame analysis) to live game systems.
