David Myers
Product Owner — Platforms, APIs & AI Products
Summary
I'm a Product Owner with 10+ years delivering API-driven platforms and middleware across fintech and digital banking. I own the integration layer: REST and GraphQL contracts, schemas, and auth flows, and I lead migrations off legacy vendor platforms without breaking what customers rely on. On the side I design, build, and ship AI systems, from LLM classification pipelines to trained machine-learning models running in production. I bring the technical depth of a former business analyst, integration specialist, and platform modernizer to every product decision.

Selected Projects
printrate.io
printrate.ioLive web app · Python, LLM pipeline, prompt engineering, statistical modeling
- Built a product that grades finance influencers on what their stock picks actually return, not their follower count — owning it from problem to live product. Under the hood: an LLM pipeline that extracts and version-controls each real ticker call, scored against sector benchmarks with empirical-Bayes shrinkage and false-discovery correction for rankings that are statistically honest, not vibes.
Job Radar
github.com/devpyleOpen source · Python, Flask, Claude API, LLM evaluation
- Built an AI job-search engine that queries 13+ job APIs and ATS platforms twice daily, uses an LLM to read and rate every posting and run fit analysis against my background, and generates tailored resumes and cover letters, all tracked on a Kanban dashboard. Built with AI coding agents.
Polymarket Trading Bot
privateTrading system · Rust, Go, TypeScript, Python, LightGBM
- Built and own an automated prediction-market trading system, end to end — gated by a risk/order layer and a shadow-to-live validation discipline so no strategy risks real capital unproven; powered by a polyglot low-latency stack (Rust/Go/TS/Python) with LightGBM signal models trained on market microstructure.
