Marshal Ace
@marshalace
Senior Full Stack Developer and AI Specialist crafting low-latency HealthTech platforms and LLM-ready pipelines.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Full Stack Developer with over 6 years of experience architecting scalable microservices, optimizing backend infrastructure, and building AI-driven solutions. I’ve specialized in Medicine (MBChB Candidate) alongside software engineering, so I can contribute deeply to HealthTech, Digital Pathology, and Large Language Model (LLM) training work. My focus is always on performance, reliability, and production-grade delivery.
I spearheaded a high-performance Digital Pathology & Image Analysis Platform, cutting manual slide review time by 40%. I architected a microservices backend using Python and Go (Golang), optimized image analysis algorithms in C++, and integrated deep learning for automated anomaly detection—delivering low-latency rendering for gigapixel Whole Slide Images (WSIs).
I also bring strong deployment and operational discipline: I managed AWS EC2 production on Debian-based infrastructure, automated provisioning and security hardening with Bash scripts and Ansible, and used CI/CD with GitHub Actions. Outside core engineering, I led UI/UX and digital media improvements (accessibility, responsiveness, A/B testing) and worked as a Social Media Manager & Data Analyst, translating engagement metrics into actionable strategy.
