Summary
Johnathan Baird is a software development engineer with nine years of experience building production systems and experimental VR/robotics software, currently working on live video encoding and streaming at AWS MediaLive in Portland. He combines cloud-native, serverless engineering at Amazon with deep R&D expertise from HaptX, where he developed haptic systems, custom inverse kinematics, and VR experiences shown at Sundance. Comfortable shipping production services that recovered significant GMV and prototyping low-level motion-tracking integrations, he moves easily between scalable backend architecture and realtime, physics-driven applications. An active contributor in the NetReconLab community and to projects like CodeEditApp, he blends practical open-source collaboration with product-focused engineering. Collectedly, his background reveals a rare mix of large-scale cloud service delivery and hands-on hardware/graphics work that accelerates cross-disciplinary product development.
