Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Scott is a Software Engineer II with a decade of experience building full-stack and systems software, currently contributing to Vistar Media after a recent role modernizing Merly’s flagship product. He holds a MS in Computer Science from UPenn and a BS from Penn State, and brings a rare combination of interests spanning computer graphics, emulation, distributed systems, and machine learning. Paul has shipped backend services in Go and Kotlin, integrated payment systems with Stripe, and refactored production services to reduce duplication and improve observability. Past internships at ShopRunner and Lockheed Martin show strong grounding in API design, testing, and UI work (Angular/React), while his undergraduate research produced an automated PHP data-flow analysis tool. Comfortable across languages and layers, he pairs academic rigor with hands-on product improvements—often tackling tricky edge cases like privilege systems and crash fixes that quietly raise reliability.
