AboutBuilder, lead, lifelong student

Cody Goss jumping between rocks outdoors

I'm a technical lead at The Home Depot, where I drive the migration of network-operations tooling onto a modern React platform and build the dashboards and provisioning consoles a ~150-person engineering org uses daily.

I'm also finishing an M.S. in Computer Science with an AI focus at Georgia Tech — the same place I spent five years teaching full-stack development and Python data visualization to career-changers. I work AI-first: Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot are part of my daily delivery workflow, not an afterthought.

ExperienceWhere I've shipped

Senior Systems Engineer, Technical Lead · The Home Depot

2020 — PRESENT

Lead a team of 3 engineers migrating a load-balancer operations portal from legacy Flask to The Home Depot's React framework, backed by Flask middleware and a shared Ansible automation platform. Build full-stack internal apps and APIs that automate request fulfillment across Jira, ServiceNow, NetBox, BlueCat, and Akamai.

Automation I designed cut manual effort ~50% — saving 6–15 engineer-hours weekly across 75–100 requests — for an organization of roughly 150 engineers and contractors.

Selected workProjects

Most of my recent engineering lives inside enterprise walls, so here are the public pieces — with more on the way.

Mood-Based Spotify Playlist Generator

Web app that captures a photo via webcam, infers mood through an AI vision API, and generates a matching playlist through the Spotify API — user-facing AI integration before it was cool.

Sports Q&A Chatbot

Conversational chatbot built with IBM Watson that answers natural-language questions about Georgia Tech athletics.

Live Ops Dashboard In progress

A public, real-time operational dashboard — the kind of high-density interface I build at work, rebuilt on open data so you can actually click it.

TeachingFive years at Georgia Tech

GEORGIA TECH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION · 2018 — 2024

Full-Stack Web Development & Python Data Visualization

Taught and mentored career-changers across HTML/CSS, JavaScript, React, Node, Python, databases, and C# — from first commit through deployed applications, plus data analysis with Pandas and Jupyter. Teaching for five years means I can explain why systems work, not just make them work.
