Richard Sartor is a seasoned infrastructure and backend engineer with 17+ years building production-grade systems—from HIPAA-regulated healthcare platforms to experimental ML and symbolic-computation tooling. As president of an independent consultancy, he designs secure, observable, and repeatable cloud-native stacks using Python, Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus/Grafana and containerized inference APIs. He’s led large cloud migrations, standardized CI/CD and IaC workflows, and even integrated Terraform provisioning into Bazel-driven build pipelines to make multi-step deployments a single command. Beyond ops, he authors open-source 3D and symbolic-computation projects (FbxSharp, ChamberLib, Solus/Giza) and ships lightweight LLM assistants, blending research-level experimentation with production reliability. Comfortable across languages and domains, he pairs deep systems pragmatism with a curiosity for compiler-style parsing and symbolic math that surfaces in his parser and algebra engine work. Based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, he’s equally at home troubleshooting distributed services or iterating on developer-facing computational tools.
