Liam Blanton
@liamblanton
I build production full-stack systems, AI tools, and high-performance software.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've built and deployed five estimating applications at Prairie Electric that have processed more than $100M in bids. I also improved warehouse trim ordering, reducing jobsite returns by 85%, and made residential costing 35% more accurate.
I'm now leading a legacy PHP-to-Django migration, including blue-green deployment scripts, security middleware, and shared session handling. I've also built an NL2SQL assistant with the Claude API so non-technical staff can safely query production MySQL data.
Outside work, I build full-stack Go applications and performance-focused Rust systems, including a semantic movie recommender and a chess engine reaching 40M nodes per second. I earned a 4.0 B.S. in Computer Science while working full-time and am preparing to begin Georgia Tech's OMSCS program.
