Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRex Douglass is a Principal Applied Scientist specializing in AI, systems architecture, and industrial vision, with 11 years of experience converting research into production-grade pipelines. He has rebuilt large-scale video annotation and automated object-labeling stacks at RIOS, designed a minimalist LLM/IE platform at Microsoft that reduced new use cases to a prompt template plus a JSON codebook, and shipped interactive LLM-in-the-loop SMS products for market research. His background blends a Princeton PhD and academic research in complex systems with hands-on engineering, allowing him to synthesize millions of papers into practical meta-science and guardrails for autonomous coding agents. Based in San Diego, he seeks stable teams building durable systems in document AI, LLM information extraction, or industrial vision, and is comfortable working full-time or freelance. A non-obvious strength: he pairs operations research thinking with modern ML to optimize human–machine workflows across legal, accounting, and manufacturing domains.
