Building internal web tools for engineers
San Diego, California
elliottjames901@gmail.comFor the past decade, I’ve built web-based tools that help engineering teams understand problems and move quickly.
At Apple, I work in Power & Performance, building tools for engineers working on battery life and software performance.
I’m extremely optimistic about AI as a force multiplier for building better tools. Recently, I’ve been using it for operating-system knowledge bases and tools that make software issues easier to understand and resolve.

On the Power & Performance team, I build full-stack tools for engineers working on battery life, performance, and responsiveness across Apple platforms. Recent work includes AI-assisted operating-system knowledge bases, diagnostic retrieval tools, software hang triage, app launch performance, and CPU optimizations.

On the Linux Integration team, I built internal tools and infrastructure for engineers working on Linux development. Work included CI workflows, automated testing, code review support, and Linux integration infrastructure.
At work, I live and breathe software. Outside of work, I look for things software can’t replace, especially beaches and parks in San Diego with my wife and son.
