Junior Software Engineer with Backend and Full-Stack Experience

Hey! My name is Marcus and I am junior software engineer looking for backend and full-stack opportunities. I graduated from Columbia University with a bachelors in Computer Science in May 2023 and was working at Twitch as a full-time SWE before being affected by the 35% reduction in force in January. I have always had a keen interest in AI and would love to work on the backend/infra projects that support that type of software. For example, during my internship at Twitch, I built an API that used a variety of ML services to flag inappropriate media on Twitch/AWS livestreams in near real time. I also have experience working with ads and monetization; my work as a full-time engineer at Twitch was dedicated to managing GDPR compliance and obfuscating sensitive user PII data across Twitch Payments' data stores.
