Summary
James Railton is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building performant front-end systems, including payments UIs and client-side frameworks at Amazon and earlier platform work at Microsoft. Based in Montreal, he’s pivoting into generative AI and seeks hands-on roles fine-tuning LLMs and diffusion/audio models while turning them into user-facing products. His background in complex UI flows for high-stakes domains like payments gives him a practical edge in productionizing models with strong UX and reliability considerations. Comfortable across the stack, he combines product-minded engineering with a history of shipping at scale and a curiosity for emerging generative techniques.
