Javier Godoy
Staff Software Engineer
New York, NY
I build AI infrastructure, developer platforms, and software that runs live operations. Currently at Medsender; previously at Amazon, CNN, and Narmi. Outside work, I independently design, build, and operate software for newsrooms, broadcasting, and photography, using my own resources.
