Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/macklan

I'm a Software Engineer with over 5 years of experience architecting scalable backend systems, integrating AI into production products, and leading development across cloud-native platforms.

At ScreenMeet, I’ve designed and implemented distributed systems supporting 100,000+ real-time device connections, built a full-stack AI summarization tool using OpenAI and Claude, and led the development of a flexible LLM prompt engineering platform. I also acted as the product lead for video conferencing tools, delivering TensorFlow-based video background replacement and custom streaming features.

My passion lies in solving complex infrastructure and AI challenges with clean, maintainable code. Whether it’s building distributed socket architectures, tuning AI prompt systems, or automating AWS cloud deployments, I enjoy taking a product from idea to production. I’m also currently exploring Rust through a personal AI microservice project as part of my continued learning.

Outside of work, you'll find me outdoors with my dogs, Molly and Riggins — hiking, skiing, camping, or fishing. I believe the same persistence and problem-solving that fuels a tough hike or a powder day also drives great engineering.

If you're looking for someone who can lead projects, scale infrastructure, and bring AI into real-world applications, I’d love to connect.
