Hi, I'm Marcus Hightower πŸ‘‹

Senior software engineer with 25+ years building backend systems, platform infrastructure, and automation pipelines. I use AI coding tools β€” Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI β€” as a core part of how I design and ship software, not as a novelty.

I own the full delivery cycle: system architecture β†’ backend development β†’ CI/CD automation β†’ containerization β†’ production observability.


πŸ”¨ What I'm Building

A Go-based SRE observability agent built with Claude Code. Collects metrics from multiple providers via OpenTelemetry, exposes a Prometheus endpoint, and provisions a live Grafana dashboard automatically. Includes CI/CD, linting, 80%+ test coverage gate, and a full containerized stack.

An AI-assisted crypto arbitrage agent built in Python. Uses a LangGraph workflow (monitor β†’ AI auditor β†’ executor) to evaluate cross-exchange spreads, get an LLM GO/WAIT decision before any trade execution, and log all decisions to a live Streamlit dashboard.
