> Software Engineer | Human-AI Systems | LLM-Augmented Workflows

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

I'm a senior full-stack engineer with over 15 years of experience building reliable, scalable software systems across backend, frontend, and infrastructure. I specialize in designing tools that streamline internal workflows and boost productivity — recently focusing on AI integration and developer platform efficiency.

My toolkit includes Go, Python/Django, .NET Core, React, GraphQL, Docker, Terraform, and AWS — with projects ranging from government case management systems to independent SaaS apps powered by OpenAI. I’m especially passionate about building internal platforms that empower teams to do more, faster.

Recently, I’ve led development of two AI-powered tools:
🧠 Text Extract & Summarize – a Django + React platform for AI-driven content summarization📈 Trend Summary Engine – a Go/GraphQL backend for intelligent article parsing and analysis

I bring a strong DevOps foundation, cross-functional experience, and a practical mindset to every build — and I’m always exploring how AI and automation can push internal tooling to the next level.

Let’s connect if you're working at the intersection of software productivity, developer platforms, or AI-powered tools.
