My name is Roger Cruz, and I am a software engineer with over 5 years of experience building AI-driven, full-stack applications that transform complex data into meaningful user experiences. My technical background spans the fintech, e-commerce, edtech, and media industries.
At PayScale, I engineered real-time compensation dashboards and led early AI integrations that improved analytics and deployment efficiency. While at Resilient Coders, I designed and deployed AI-powered learning systems using Next.js, Supabase, and PyTorch/FastAI, with a focus on safety, reliability, and real-world impact.
I’ve been recognized by AWS re:Invent and the Linux Foundation for my ability to balance technical depth, creativity, and teamwork. As a freelancer, I’ve built business solutions and designed websites for a variety of clients. Beyond tech, I’m a photographer, athlete, and musician who values how technology can enhance creativity and human connection.
Fun fact: Before working in tech, I spent several years in the healthcare field.
