Stanley Lawrence Sie
@stanleylawrencesie
Full-stack web engineer merging production systems with AI research.
What I'm looking for
I am a full-stack web developer with 4+ years building scalable applications and a strong research background in AI, particularly facial and micro-expression work. I bridge engineering and research to deliver measurable business outcomes.
At Expedock I engineered high-throughput systems, integrated LLMs into ingestion pipelines, and open-sourced Pyaccelsx — a Rust-backed Python library for Excel export that achieved up to 5x faster performance and lower memory usage.
My work history includes end-to-end ownership of features, workflow optimization using OCR and automation, and expanding automated test coverage to reduce regressions. I also developed NLP frameworks for large-scale social media analysis to support policy research.
I hold an M.S. in Computer Science with thesis work on synthetic micro-expressions and graduated magna cum laude in my B.S. studies. I enjoy solving real-world problems through pragmatic engineering, research-driven solutions, and cross-functional collaboration.
