Summary
Jeff P is a versatile software engineer with 13 years of experience building data-intensive backend systems, cloud architectures, and AI/LLM tooling. He has strong hands-on expertise in Scala, Spark, Go, Java, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), having designed ETL pipelines that processed terabytes of location and ad-tech data and deployed production LLM agents. Recent work blends accessibility and product innovation—developing Discord bots for HCI impairments and a novel casino gaming app—while earlier roles ranged from protocol engineering at LBRY to blockchain and cyber research. Jeff pairs a mathematics background with Columbia CS study to approach problems analytically, often breaking systems to understand and improve them. He’s comfortable across the stack—from low-level microvisor work and high-performance compute kernels to orchestration with Kubernetes, EMR, and Docker—bringing a pragmatic, research-minded approach to shipping resilient systems.
