# Calum Siemer > A.I. Security Software Engineer at AXE.AI Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/calumsiemer I’m a Software Engineering Lead at AXE.ai, an AI-driven cybersecurity startup, where I was the first engineering hire. Since joining, I’ve played a foundational role in shaping the company’s technical direction — from architecting cloud-agnostic infrastructure and building full stack web and desktop applications, to guiding design decisions and mentoring the engineering team. My current work spans a wide range of technologies including TypeScript, React, Tailwind, Tauri (Rust), Python, Postgres, gRPC, GraphQL, REST, AWS, containerization, CI/CD, VLLM-based inference, Keycloak for auth, and more. I run sprint planning as the team’s informal scrum master, lead internal technical mentorship with our dev interns, and work closely across functions to ensure we’re building scalable, secure, and elegant software. Beyond AXE.ai, I continue to take on freelance projects. Most recently, I built Excelerate, a production-ready desktop application that automates Excel-based reporting workflows for corporate clients. I’m passionate about building high-impact tools, mentoring devs, and solving problems at the intersection of infrastructure, AI, and UI/UX. Always open to connecting about engineering leadership, side projects, or interesting challenges. ## Work Experience ### A.I. Security Software Engineer @ Axe.AI Jan 2023 – Present ### A.I.
