Gavin Bauman is a Full Stack Engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native and mobile solutions, currently shaping B2B lending acceleration at Worth AI while leading engineering at Stately. He blends hands-on architecture and feature delivery—from Azure-based enterprise systems at Microsoft to cross-platform medical apps via his firm Bionic Panda—ensuring maintainability, observability, and compliance. An active open-source contributor, Gavin has added persistence and workflow examples to the widely used xstate project, connecting actor-based state machines to databases like MongoDB. Based in Atlanta, he pairs practical engineering with mentorship and developer evangelism, and famously unwinds by keeping sharp in fighting games—so expect a competitive, iterative approach to problem solving.
