Richard Swierk is a software developer with nine years of experience, currently building backend systems and RESTful APIs at IBM with a strong focus on Python. He combines practical cybersecurity training from Champlain College with hands-on experience in ML data curation from a machine learning internship at iRobot, where he annotated 2D/3D spatial data for reinforcement learning. His early co-op work at MIT Lincoln Laboratory sharpened his vulnerability management and security instincts, making him comfortable at the intersection of secure engineering and data-driven features. Richard has moved between research-oriented labs and product teams, which gives him a pragmatic approach to solving ambiguous problems and shipping reliable services. Based in New Durham, NH, he brings the discipline of formal cybersecurity study to backend architecture and API design. Outside of work, his background suggests a readiness to bridge tooling, security, and applied ML in production contexts.
