Scott Guthart
Software Engineer — Full-Stack, AI/LLMs, Data Science
Backend-focused software engineer with 7 years building data-heavy Python applications — Flask and pandas since 2019, FastAPI since 2025 — who works independently and owns deliverables end to end: architecting AI-powered systems with OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, and LangGraph, from Postgres data models and REST APIs to Docker, CI/CD, and production infrastructure on Azure and AWS, for Fortune 100 companies including CVS, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and L'Oréal.
Experience
AI Full Stack Engineer — Edelman
- Independently architect, build, and support production AI applications end to end as the sole engineer — Python/FastAPI REST services and a Supabase (PostgreSQL) backend behind a React, Next.js, Tailwind, and shadcn frontend, containerized with Docker and deployed across Azure and AWS EC2 — for client teams serving Fortune 100 companies such as Samsung, Johnson & Johnson, and CVS.
- Built an automated media-monitoring pipeline in Python (FastAPI, pandas) that scrapes top-tier outlets like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal and uses Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, and Anthropic (Claude) models with structured output to classify coverage and model topics, with human-in-the-loop review so strategists can validate and refine results.
- Design multi-step LLM agent workflows with LangChain and LangGraph on Azure OpenAI, and run large-scale data processing and analysis in Databricks to power client insights.
- Own deliverables from requirements through release: partner directly with strategists and client teams to gather feedback, communicate trade-offs, and iterate quickly, developing AI-natively with tools like Cursor and Claude to ship and refine features rapidly.
Lead Software Engineer — Radius
- Founded and led the company's first software engineering team, hiring, mentoring, and establishing the engineering practices — Git workflows, Docker-based environments, and CI/CD with GitHub Actions — and architecture used to scale solutions across the organization.
- Built a full-stack application (Python/Flask, pandas, React) integrating OpenAI's LLM to automate coding of thousands of open-ended survey responses, with analysts reviewing outputs in a human-in-the-loop workflow.
- Shipped and supported a production statistical-toolkit app — a Flask REST API processing large survey datasets with pandas and SQL, deployed on Linux — improving a five-person analytics team's efficiency by 20%.
Full Stack Engineer — Radius
- Built and deployed a data-heavy market-simulation app (Python/Flask, pandas) — still in use by clients such as CVS, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and L'Oréal — on a Linux cloud server.
- Replaced an Excel-based system with a custom project-management app for 200+ projects, featuring Salesforce integration, automated reporting, and change tracking (Flask, MySQL backend).
Statistical Analyst — Radius
- Began building data-heavy Python applications, automating multivariate statistical techniques with pandas, NumPy, and scikit-learn and exposing them through internal Flask tools, improving analyst efficiency by 15%.
Selected project
MovieTable
Public full-stack movie discovery app combining critic and user ratings with AI-powered recommendations and weighted scoring. It is available to explore publicly and includes a recommendation system designed to showcase the full-stack and AI work behind it.
Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4, shadcn/ui, ReUI, TanStack Table, Supabase/PostgreSQL; Dockerized and self-hosted on a DigitalOcean Ubuntu VM with Coolify (PaaS) for git-push CI/CD and Cloudflare DNS
MovieTable was built with an AI-native workflow using v0, Claude Code, and Vercel.
