@hankmarquardt
Senior software engineer and data engineer training and evaluating AI for reliable software solutions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a polyglot software engineer and data engineer with 25+ years of experience building web applications, cloud data platforms, automation, APIs, and analytics systems. I’m currently focused on evaluating and comparing code to improve large language model reasoning and software-engineering performance, using structured criteria to assess correctness, reasoning quality, maintainability, and edge cases.
Throughout my career, I’ve translated business needs into reliable technical solutions, led developers and stakeholders, and delivered systems across AWS and relational databases in production web environments. I bring a hands-on approach that blends engineering, data modeling, ETL/ELT, and CI/CD—so teams can ship dependable software and high-quality AI training and evaluation data.
