James Hughes

I am a senior software engineer focused on designing and delivering scalable, AI-driven applications across web, mobile, and desktop platforms. I combine deep Python backend expertise with modern frontend skills to build user-centric, high-performance products.

My work has produced measurable business impact: boosting engagement, shortening development cycles, and increasing revenue through ML-driven recommendations, RAG pipelines, and conversational AI assistants. I routinely architect microservices, API gateways, and cloud-native deployments on AWS, Azure, and GCP.

I lead end-to-end development efforts, from greenfield architecture to ETL and deployment, and I optimize ML pipelines for cost and speed while improving system performance and scalability. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure maintainability and operational resilience.

I deliver pragmatic technical innovation—reducing manual processes from hours to seconds, increasing platform adoption, and building robust systems that support rapid growth and excellent user experiences.
