Experience / résumé
Conner Adams
Full-stack software engineer
I build across the stack, from the interface to the systems underneath it. My work spans backend infrastructure, language bridges, game servers, and integration platforms, with Rust, Python, and DevOps at the core. I carry that work from architecture through deployment and maintenance.
