CS @ UT Dallas, May 2027 | Open to full-time SWE and AI roles **Profession:** AI Automation & Workflow Developer \(AI Agent Engineer, Summer 2026\) **Location:** Plano, Texas, United States ## About Gold Nwobu is an AI agent and full-stack software builder currently developing LLM agents and automation workflows at pepelwerk while serving as a Grader and Teaching Assistant in Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas. Gold designs systems that bring AI capabilities to users, with hands-on strengths in multi-agent architectures, LLM integration, vision models, text-to-speech, Python, Node.js, TypeScript, React, and product-focused web development. At pepelwerk, Gold designed and shipped Otto, a hierarchical system with one parent agent, six specialist sub-agents, and two scheduled routines, alongside a verification method that ensures the system does not write outside its scope. Gold also resolved two verified production bugs and reduced a 373-item issue backlog to roughly 30 real issues. Outside work, Gold has shipped Clutch, Platter, and GroupPad, and is a co-author of arXiv:2601.01237 on benchmarking state space models and Transformers at long context. Gold is pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science on the Intelligent Systems track at UT Dallas, with expected graduation in May 2027, and is open to full-time software engineering and AI engineering roles across DFW and the United States. ## Services - Next.js - PyTorch - n8n - Model Context Protocol \(MCP\) - Supabase - PostgreSQL - Node.js - TypeScript - AI Agents - Python \(Programming Language\) - React.js - Large Language Models \(LLM\) - UI/UX Design - Front-End Development \(Bootstrap, HTML, CSS, JavaScript\) - Web Design and User Interface \(UI\) Development - Coding and Debugging - Team Leadership ## Highlights - Designed and shipped Otto at pepelwerk, a hierarchical multi-agent system with one parent agent, six specialist sub-agents, and two scheduled routines: a weekly deep pass and daily regression sweep. - Wrote Otto's verification method demonstrating that the system writes nothing outside its own scope. - Root-caused and fixed two pepelwerk production-platform bugs, with both fixes verified in production. - Reduced a 373-issue pepelwerk backlog, estimated to be about 72% duplicates, to roughly 30 real items. - Built a five-stage Python pipeline matching the Fortune 500 against the DoD SkillBridge registry, using tiered model routing to reserve the expensive model for higher-value cases. - Shipped Clutch, an AI exam-prep platform that produces one-page exam sheets from a semester of notes, with a source cited on every line. - Built Clutch podcast generation from study materials using LLMs and vision models the product has reached more than 50 users and generated more than 200 sheets. - Shipped Platter, which converts a restaurant's photographed paper menu into an editable digital menu. - Shipped GroupPad, a collaborative vacation-rental and housing-decision platform with cost splitting and AI explanations for rankings. - Co-authored arXiv:2601.01237, benchmarking state space models against Transformers at long context. - Supported more than 40 students per term as a Grader and Teaching Assistant in Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas. - Designed grading rubrics with faculty and wrote feedback on every submission for CS 2340 Object-Oriented Programming in Fall 2025. - Supported CS 3377 Systems Programming in UNIX in Spring and Fall 2026, covering shell scripts, C, processes, threads, and sockets. - Tutored AMC 10/12 mathematics and led an NLP with Python workshop during Summer 2026 K–12 outreach. - Built Node.js REST APIs at Digital Oxygen Ltd for a product with more than 1,000 active users. - Reduced API response time by 30% across more than 10 endpoints at Digital Oxygen Ltd. - Added tests, debugging tools, and log instrumentation at Digital Oxygen Ltd, raising system stability by 25%. - Mentored more than 50 junior developers on Git, testing, and code review at Digital Oxygen Ltd delivery velocity rose by 15%. - Shipped React Native and Firebase features at Ventis Nigeria that reduced the crash rate by 25%. - Designed more than 10 Figma interfaces at Ventis Nigeria. - Received Ventis Nigeria's Rising Star Award in 2025. - Wrote Python automation at PwC used on more than 20 audit engagements, cutting manual effort by 40% and surfacing more than 30 system risks. - Built SQL pipelines at PwC to validate transaction data and replaced rule-of-thumb checks with statistical classifiers. - Conducted IT audit work at PwC across enterprise financial systems, including data integrity, audit trails, and reconciliation. - Fixed React and Node.js defects at Arravo, improving application performance by 30%. - Demonstrated problem-solving in file-handling optimization, vision-model integration, and improving AI-generated speech quality. ## Experience - **AI Automation & Workflow Developer \(AI Agent Engineer, Summer 2026\) at pepelwerk | Talent Development Marketplace** (2025-11-01–present) — I build and run LLM agents on the Paperclip multi-agent platform, plus the n8n workflows around them. - Designed and shipped Otto, a hierarchical multi-agent system: 1 parent agent, 6 specialist sub-agents and 2 scheduled routines \(weekly deep pass, daily regression sweep\).
