About Me

I'm Toby McGuire, a software engineer with an interest in AI, autonomy, and robotics. My career started in underwater robotics where I built ML pipelines for object detection in low-visibility environments. This has since automated testing and integrated systems engineering at Boeing. I'm drawn to work where software has a physical consequence, and I can learn a lot along the way.

On the ML side, I've built synthetic data generation pipelines, automated stereo image processing workflows, and implemented research paper algorithms in real deployment environments. On the systems side, I've worked across large C++ codebases, cross-functional hardware-adjacent teams, and validation frameworks that touch real sensor data. I'm currently building out my full stack skills through projects like Saucer, a TypeScript/React/Node.js app, using AWS for authentication and cloud storage.

Outside of engineering, I make games. I've shipped multiple titles on Steam and itch.io, run two marathons, and skied all over the western US and Whistler. I also have two cats, Fern (Black) and Faun (Calico).
