Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Crha is a Machine Learning Engineer and full-stack software developer with 10 years’ experience building highly available, cloud-native web applications serving audiences in excess of 500k. Currently at QBE Insurance and founder/director of 9BitByte, he blends production ML work with hands-on engineering and product ownership. His background spans front-end, systems and full-stack roles across startups and enterprises, including driving speech-data projects and large-scale voice datasets at Appen. Comfortable in remote-first environments for the last three years, he pairs strong system administration foundations (high academic performance in IT) with practical delivery experience. Outside of software he’s a hands-on tinkerer—on GitHub he identifies as a “wanna be metal fabricator,” reflecting a curiosity for physical projects beyond code. This mix of production ML, cloud-scale web engineering and maker instincts makes him adept at turning experimental models into reliable, scalable services.
