What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can really dig into building AI systems that make a difference—especially in healthcare. Working in a startup sounds like a blast because I love moving fast and having a direct impact. Also, collaborating closely with leadership on fresh projects, like scaling a new medical platform, fits my experience perfectly.

I'm Brent Oakes, a Senior AI Full Stack Engineer with extensive experience in the world of AI over the last eight years. My career kicked off with building enterprise web applications at Epic, where I improved operational efficiency with AWS-hosted apps—boosting uptime by 15%. At Grayphite, I delivered AI-powered tools for real estate, cutting interaction latency by about 32% with real-time voice AI workflows. More recently at Elastech, I led the charge on crafting a clinical decision-support platform, helping cut unsupported responses by 22% through a massive RAG system.

AI and data architecture fascinate me as they’re like the backbone of innovation—especially in healthcare, where they directly impact patient outcomes. I'm all about creating scalable solutions using tools like AWS, FastAPI, and React. The challenges of balancing the latest AI capabilities with real-world demands keep me hooked. Plus, collaborating across disciplines to tackle these problems is what makes this field so dynamic and rewarding for me.
