Senior software engineer. Extensive front end and back end experience. I've spent most of the past four years building AI agents and related system.
I built an open-source, plugin-based agent framework. It supports tools, delegated jobs, knowledge bases, browser and computer control, database access, custom UIs, and image/video workflows.
Lately I've been working on a low-latency, self-hosted voice agent system that uses direct SIP, streaming STT and TTS, Qwen 27B, and vLLM.
I'm also building a browser-based 3D AI character project as a side project. It runs small models such as Gemma 4 and MiniCPM 5 locally through WebGPU. Other recent work include employment verification, medical document processing with complex RAG, browser automation,interactive avatars, and data analysis agent workflows.
Most of my work crosses several layers of the stack. I'm comfortable with frontend and backend web development in Python and Node.js, agent design, model serving, infrastructure deployment. I especially like greenfield projects, though I don't need everything to start from scratch.

Ladder from 21M to 125M; the 21M encoder is trained to production quality and ships in software today. Public pipeline proof (MIT): https://github.com/IsaacLevinsky/rustmind-mini-embed-base - Root-caused a generation-collapse failure to non-stratified validation splits and over-memorized templated data, then rebuilt the corpus pipeline around document-aware chunking. - LookingGlass: zero-dependency Rust workspace-analysis engine. 3,441 files in ~47ms.

I spent a decade in support, slowly automating myself out of every role until the tools I built became more valuable than the tickets I closed (at least to me). Now I write Python, creating internal tooling, LLM integrations and automations.
Current projects: hex (https://0xff.nu/hex), an AI executive assistant that manages my calendar, tasks, and Obsidian vault because my ADHD brain certainly won't, and sixwhyo (https://6yo.dev), a code reviewer powered by a 6-year-old's logic. Now also exploring iOS development to create an app I’ve been dreaming about.
I like simple and robust solutions over overly clever architecture, and am looking for a remote-first engineering role, not a support role with "engineer" in the title.

I'm Lead Software Engineer at LottieFiles, where I maintain the official dotLottie player stack end to end: dotlottie-rs (a production Rust runtime compiled to WebAssembly for the web and to native iOS/Android libraries from one codebase) and dotlottie-web (the TypeScript player and its React/Vue/Svelte/SolidJS packages — 10M+ npm downloads/month). The runtime parses untrusted third-party files on every client installation, so memory safety, input validation and frame-budget performance are my daily constraints. Before that: backend at TikTok on systems serving hundreds of millions of users, and 3 years of enterprise React/TypeScript at Adform. I also contribute to ThorVG (C++ vector graphics engine). Looking for senior/staff systems, runtime, graphics, or frontend-infrastructure work — remote from Indonesia or relocation with sponsorship.

22, self-taught. Won a $100K Meta Llama Impact Grant for Bluai and presented it at LlamaCon on 2025
Bluai (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bluai.app&...) is a hurricane early-warning app live on Google Play in Mexico, built offline-first because during a hurricane the network is the first thing to go. An online RAG pipeline and an on-device Llama 3.2 (ExecuTorch, NPU-accelerated) sit behind one interface, picking 1B or 3B based on device RAM, so the UI never knows which brain answered. When everything is down it falls back to Bluetooth/Wi-Fi mesh chat over a multi-hop wire protocol.
Email me one paragraph about something broken or missing in your product. I'll build a working prototype and send you the repo plus a short video of it running, within 48 hours. Free. No call, no interview, no invoice. If you like it, we talk. If not, you keep the code.
Flexible on compensation for the right team. I'm optimizing for who I'd be learning from, more than thinking in numbers.

Looking for C or C++ roles. (or similar). GameDev and Embedded at my first choices but any work with these technologies is fine. I am hoping to find work where I am NOT firefighting or replacing someone that quit.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gamedesigner Email: mauricio.gomes@coderofworlds.comMy wife gave birth recently and I don't have nearby relatives to help, so I prefer remote jobs right now.
I also did DevRel in the past and recently interviewed some DevRel positions, made me realize I am also suitable for that and willing to work with that.
I have a lot of experience with iOS and Android, but been some time since I worked with these.
