Alex Stout

Engineer · builder of cool shit · Salt Lake City, UT

Software engineer in Salt Lake City with 13+ years of building things that ship — and a near-constant pile of personal projects that may or may not ever see daylight. Married, two kids, one very over-automated house.

I run Everlife Media on the side — films and event tech for the moments worth keeping — and lead applied AI in the day job. The throughline is simple: I like taking something complicated, poking at it until it makes sense, and making it work better than it did before.

Lately that means a lot of AI. I’m one of the few engineers who’s been hands-on with this stuff every single day, on real problems, for years. The full track record’s on /experience.
