I’m Ross, a software engineer with nine years of experience building and scaling enterprise applications. Over my career, I’ve worked across distributed systems and enterprise software, and for the past year I’ve been focused on building production-ready agentic AI applications. In addition to being an individual contributor, I also manage a small team and mentor engineers. I grew up on a farm in England, moved to the U.S. for college, and have now lived here for 13 years. I enjoy tackling complex technical challenges, collaborating across disciplines, and driving teams forward.
