Lead full-stack engineer with 11 years of experience, looking for Senior or Tech Lead roles. Since 2023 I've shipped LLM products: the natural-language-to-SQL API behind HEAVY.AI's HeavyIQ, and weekly search-analytics agents for 1,000+ clients at Copysmith, where I owned the architecture. I built the UI/UX for HeavyRF, an NVIDIA Omniverse digital twin shown in the GTC 2022 keynote, and spent six years on HIPAA-regulated healthcare apps. I also run Flippd (https://flippd.gg), a pinball app with 1,600 monthly users.

I assume it’s for one-off cases that you encounter while agents scrape/browse with a goal in mind.

I lead development on Pindigo (https://pindigo.app), a social score-tracking and ranking app for pinball players.

Most of my time lately has gone into Flippd, its successor, which we recently soft-launched. We’ve also released a tech demo that uses custom computer-vision models to identify a pinball machine from a photo and extract the player’s score.

You can try it here: https://flippd.gg/scan

Everything you mentioned OpenClaw does is also something that Hermes supports. Hermes also supports project-scoped kanban boards and can orchestrate across multiple specialized Hermes profiles.

I'm Pindigo's dev. Thanks for the plug!

Our locations are sourced from Pinball Map; scores can be tagged with locations which allows us to maintain leaderboards for specific machines (in addition to global/social/event leaderboards).

I've been a senior engineer for several years now and feel that I would enjoy the jump to principal engineer. Are there any recommended coursework or books that would help me with this?

Professionally, I'm working on the frontend of a radio frequency propagation simulator for 3D "digital twins" of cities/regions. This uses ImGui under the hood, but is wrapped by Python. It's a bit of a pain, but I came up with a class that allows the UI to be composed in a manner more akin to React Components.

For fun, I just implemented a finite-state machine for a videogame I'm working on in Rust. It's used to swap out sprite animations depending on the state of its parent entity. I'm glad to be solving problems I'd never come across in my normal line of work.
