Doby Baxter

Software Engineer • Python • Scientific Software • AI Infrastructure

I build reliable software that makes complex systems easier to understand, validate, and operate.

My work focuses on Python, developer tooling, scientific software, AI infrastructure, and open source. I'm particularly interested in configuration validation, deterministic workflows, observability, and designing systems that reduce invalid states and improve developer experience.
