Richard Mable is an Engineering Manager in Seattle with a decade of experience building and scaling Python-based backend systems and cloud-native microservices. He progressed from hands-on roles (Lead Backend Engineer focused on explainable AI and Python/Flask) to managing platform architecture and delivery at Virtualitics, after helping architect and deploy containerized services on Kubernetes for SaaS at AirDNA. He has strong experience integrating authentication/authorization (OAuth/SSO), performance optimization (e.g., cutting iCal download times via queued tasks), and cross-functional coordination between product, data science, and engineering teams. Comfortable in polyglot stacks (Python, Go, Postgres, JS) and AWS, he blends technical depth with pragmatic leadership and roadmap ownership. Early career roles in teaching and coaching reflect an aptitude for mentoring and clear communication across diverse stakeholders. He pairs a BA in Environmental Studies with formal web development training, bringing a curious, systems-oriented perspective to complex platform problems.
