Profile: https://flows.cv/masonpalmer

Full-stack and ML engineer who builds production systems end to end. Founding engineer at Corgi (YC S24), where I architect AI native infrastructure to modernize the insurance industry. I build systems that automate underwriting, claims, and policy management using LLMs, computer vision, NLP, and modern cloud tooling.

Previously, I led engineering as CTO at Talsey AI, building AI powered products from zero to production. Before that, I designed secure DevOps pipelines and high performance systems at Hill Air Force Base. My work spans startups to government, shipping everything from real time ML applications to scalable distributed systems.

I work across the stack: React, TypeScript, and Node on the frontend, Python, Go, and distributed systems on the backend, with deep experience in AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, and ML frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow. With an M.S. in Electrical Engineering, I bring systems thinking and technical depth to everything I build.
