Robert Viragh

Full-stack engineer focused on practical AI systems and reliable product delivery. I help teams ship working software by combining solid engineering fundamentals with modern tooling and agent workflows.

Experience across startups (individual contributor and engineering manager roles) and more recent work on AI-assisted development pipelines. Looking for collaborative teams where I can contribute as a technical partner.

Background & Experience

Professional Experience

Startups & Organizations

Worked with multiple startups (some with exits) as both individual contributor and software engineering manager.
Experience spanning C++ systems work, full-stack development, and coordinating with other team members on product delivery.
Recent work includes AI systems and agent orchestration roles involving multi-agent coding workflows, infrastructure, and verification of generated code.
London School of Economics Online MBA Essentials Certificate (2022).
Created the YAML-Var format to make configuration files easier to parameterize.
Focused on Elixir since late 2023. Study notes available for reference.

How I Work with Teams

Prefer clear requirements, code review, and shared ownership of the codebase.
Strong at turning ambiguous problems into working, documented implementations that others can maintain.
Experience both as an individual contributor and as a software engineering manager in startup environments.
Comfortable integrating into existing systems and workflows rather than working in isolation.
Open to full-time or contract roles on product or platform teams.

Reference

“Having worked closely with Rob for a year and a half, where he has been my technical counterpart on a number of projects, I have found him to be highly technically capable, resourceful, creative, and dedicated. In our time working together, no challenge has been insurmountable for Rob, and he has - on every occasion - gone beyond the extra mile to deliver efficient and appropriate solutions to technical challenges which have brought our ideas to life. Furthermore, I have found the unparalleled vision and energy that Rob brings to a team to be inspiring and extremely motivating. In summation, I have full confidence that Rob would be a major asset to any organisation, and I wholeheartedly recommend him. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.” Ben Ridler, Designer, Full Blown Metals

Selected Work

Projects & Experiments

MicroLLM lab — Browser-based tool to compare small language models by tokens per second and accuracy. Useful for evaluating lightweight models in constrained environments.
In-browser fly connectome simulation — Interactive visualization and simulation built around the fly connectome project data.
Object detection at 60 FPS in the browser — Synthetic data generation, YOLOv8n training, ONNX export, and WebGPU/WebGL/WASM inference. Developed from a project brief with AI assistance for implementation, refined for performance and deployment.
QR Code and Barcode Generator — Serverless function on AWS Lambda. Implementation guided by AI tools for scaffolding; integration, configuration, and deployment handled directly. Uses open-source bwip-js, qrcode, and Express (all MIT).
Gemma fine-tuning walkthrough — End-to-end demonstration of fine-tuning a small model, including a custom UDP-based remote desktop component for reliable input.
P2P file sharing and peer-to-peer voice/video/chat using WebRTC.
Replace Hex Colors with Black — Small JavaScript utility with an interactive example.
