Summary
Max Petrusenko is an AI-focused software engineer with 8 years of experience building production systems that operate under uncertainty and weak signals, currently driving multi-agent and RAG-enabled products at Gauntlet AI. He has shipped low-latency, collaborative AI features (CollabBoard AI) and designed tiered cost architectures that balance deterministic parsers with premium model fallbacks to control inference spend. Previously he maintained HIPAA-compliant backend infrastructure for a high-usage EHR at ICANotes, refactoring auth, APIs, and integrations to improve reliability and incident response. Comfortable across the full stack, his toolbox spans React, Node.js, SQL Server, Firestore/RTDB, Claude Code, and MCP, with a track record of turning prototype ideas into production in days. A 42 Silicon Valley alumnus and bootcamp-trained engineer, he combines rigorous systems programming instincts with practical product delivery under real client and compliance constraints. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic AI cost optimization and rapid, safety-minded deployment of multi-agent workflows.
