Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMilton John is a versatile software engineer and founder with 13 years of hands-on experience spanning embedded systems, cloud services, and consumer apps. After five years at Amazon Lab126 building resilient OTA and edge-management systems using C, Go, Python, and AWS, he now runs Spoonfy, an AI-powered, verbal-only language learning app that he built end-to-end—including HuggingFace/PyTorch training pipelines and a multiplatform Swift-based editor for dataset creation. He combines low-level firmware and networking expertise (OpenWRT, iptables, kernel work) with modern ML and frontend practice, and has shipped high-performance C++ and real-time systems like the Phoenix emulator. Milton is drawn to roles where mission-driven product teams need a flexible technologist who can prototype full-stack AI systems and productionize them. An understated strength is his ability to translate volunteer-driven UX workflows into robust data tooling that scales from research to app stores.
