Summary
Jeff Godwin is a staff-level agentic and data engineer with 16 years of experience building large-scale data platforms and AI-driven workflows from geophysics to RF spectrum mapping. Based in Denver, he has led small, high-impact engineering teams at companies like KoBold Metals, Aurora Insight/Maxar, and Fracture ID to productionize PB-scale ETL, visualization, and agentic systems on AWS. He specializes in applying autonomous agents and LLM integrations (Claude) to solve previously intractable scientific and engineering problems, and has shipped globalized geochemical and RF analysis web apps. His background in geophysics (MS/BS, Colorado School of Mines) gives him a rare ability to translate domain science into robust software and reproducible pipelines. Known for squeezing 100x performance improvements out of processing stacks, he blends hands-on engineering with people leadership to move research prototypes into production.
