Waymark - Senior Software Engineer
May 2025 - Present · Remote
Building Waymark’s AI video generation platform, where agentic tools turn a brand into a finished TV commercial. Working in Go, TypeScript and Python on AWS (Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, CDK), using generative video, voice and music models.
Architected and built end-to-end AI video generation for Cinematic. It generates shots concurrently and resumably on swappable models, keeps idempotent job state in DynamoDB, and automatically assembles versioned, playable videos.
Core engineer on Waymark’s Cinematic Tool, an agentic creative studio covering story-to-video, storyboards, voiceover, music generation, video editing and AI logo enhancement, built on current models.
Designed asset provenance for AI-generated media: recipe fingerprinting, write-once generation metadata and per-call cost tracking for every asset.
Shipped a batch video automation platform (APIs, client SDK, webhooks, Lambdas, DynamoDB tracking) and the internal Auto-Batch tool for high-volume partner production.
Led brand extraction and templating: website color analysis, a screenshot service, image libraries, and reuse of logos and brand data across accounts and templates.
Redesigned stock footage selection with LLM multi-query search, thumbnail scoring, de-duplication and fallbacks, and restored template selection across services to unblock production.
