Benjamin Cox

I’m a senior software and AI engineer with 12+ years of experience building production-grade systems across AI/ML, full-stack development, mobile applications, embedded systems, and real-time software.

My core strengths are Python, C/C++, machine learning, LLM-powered applications, backend/API development, mobile engineering, and performance-critical systems. I’ve worked across the full development lifecycle from architecture and data pipelines to model training, inference optimization, APIs, mobile integration, deployment, testing, and production monitoring.

What differentiates me is the ability to work comfortably at both the high-level application layer and the low-level systems layer. I can build an AI service in Python, design the backend around it, integrate it into web or mobile products, and optimize performance-critical components in C/C++ when latency, memory, hardware, or real-time constraints matter.

My experience spans AI and intelligent automation, SaaS and backend platforms, mobile products, Bluetooth and connected devices, embedded systems, real-time audio/DSP, and high-performance software. I focus on practical engineering: clean architecture, measurable performance improvements, maintainable code, and solutions that can move successfully from prototype to production.
