Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOrión Montoya is a versatile software engineer with 10 years of professional experience building SaaS products from sketches to eight-figure ARR, now focused on payments engineering at Gusto. He combines envelope-pushing front-end expertise with deep back-end skills in Python, Ruby, and Node, and is obsessive about REST design, versioning, unit testing, and CI. At Textio he led NLP and MLOps efforts, shipped generative writing systems that materially grew ARR, and built annotation and deployment pipelines bridging ML research and production. His background in computational linguistics and early work founding Wordnik give him rare fluency in corpus-scale text engineering and applied NLP. Comfortable shaping high-level product strategy as well as low-level infrastructure, he thrives at the intersection of language tech, developer tooling, and scalable web systems.
