Principal Full-stack AI Engineer

Matthew Dalby is a veteran engineer with 20+ years of experience, ranging from early-stage startups to large enterprise scale. He is looking for a motivated 'startup mode' team where he can build from the ground up and contribute to a core vision. He bridges the gap between deep systems (Unix, infra, middleware) and UX, with a strong background in Engineering and Visual Communications, allowing him to understand the 'why' behind the interface. He has spent the last 18 months focused on training and fine-tuning AI models, not just calling APIs. He possesses 10+ years of experience as a hands-on lead, is experienced in C-level communication, budget proposals, and international business (semi-fluent in Spanish; experienced with Mexico/LATAM markets). He has deep roots in programming, having started at age 10, and has lived through technology cycles from owning a SparcStation in the 90s to shipping modern AI-driven cloud applications today.
