Wes Hargrove is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building data-driven, developer-facing infrastructure and full-stack products, currently based in Missoula, Montana. He has led architecture and tech strategy at scale—most recently designing CI/CD tooling to convert gRPC services into callable schemas for LLM workflows and improving data-quality detection with automated validation frameworks. As a former LinkedIn engineering leader and a startup CTO/co‑founder, he spans systems from event-driven analytics to AI voice agent pipelines, combining product sense with deep implementation experience. Wes is also a hands-on mentor who organized cross-team technical leadership groups to align standards and tooling across organizations. Outside of code he’s a lifelong learner and photographer who brings curiosity and practical creativity to thorny engineering problems. He’s equally likely to be sketching system designs as he is smoking brisket on a weekend.
