Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Varah is a Stanford-trained software engineer and MS candidate with eight years of hands-on experience building high-performance systems for games, research, and startups. He has led tutoring teams at Stanford while shipping low-level graphics and rendering improvements at Roblox that scaled across millions of users, and co-founded Audioscape to architect a generative web-audio engine that avoids copyright pitfalls for game integration. Comfortable across C++, GPU APIs, Python, and web stacks, he has repeatedly turned performance and data-migration challenges into measurable wins—50% render perf gains, 66% memory reductions, and multi-terabyte storage cost cuts. A proven technical leader from high-school robotics championships to university research, he blends product-focused engineering with mentorship and a knack for translating academic CS into production systems.
