PaulMaxwell

Software engineer. I build backend systems — platforms, data pipelines, and the services around them.

Currently at P-1 AI, working on the platform behind Archie, an AI engineering agent. Before that: fraud detection at Amazon, credit underwriting at Ampla, portfolio analytics at BlackRock.
