01 / Career

Systems in the real world.

Alain Morris, Backend and Applied AI Engineer

Built from Belize. Designed for real operating conditions.

A practical perspective shaped by production systems, research, and distributed teams.

01Feb 2022–Feb 2024Remote

Software Engineer

Adaviv

  • Reduced backend latency by approximately 30% through query, caching, and service-path improvements.
  • Shipped production API and data-workflow changes across Python services and AWS infrastructure.
  • Worked directly with product and operational constraints where reliability mattered more than demos.
02Feb 2024–2026South Korea

Graduate Researcher — Smart Mobility, Simulation & Algorithms

Korea National University of Transportation

  • Ran 900 demand-responsive-transit simulations across 45 scenario variants.
  • Analyzed 10,078 KORAIL failure records for predictive-maintenance research.
  • Built experiment pipelines that connected scenario configuration, policy evaluation, metrics, and reporting.

02 / Engineering principles

How I make technical decisions.

01

Start with the operating reality

The useful system is the one that survives incomplete data, changing requirements, and the way people actually work.

02

Make evidence visible

Architecture, tradeoffs, and outcomes should be inspectable—not hidden behind inflated claims or decorative diagrams.

03

Own the whole path

I am strongest at the backend, but I will cross product, data, infrastructure, and interface boundaries to get the job done.

03 / Toolkit

Tools follow the problem.

Backend systems

Python · FastAPI · Node.js · PostgreSQL · MongoDB · Redis

Applied AI & data
