Hi, I'm Scott Ratchford.
I build software that solves real problems. I'm an AI Engineer at the U.S. Department of Treasury in Washington, D.C. I earned my MBA and B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Alabama.
Background
I graduated from the University of Alabama with a B.S. in Computer Science (2024) and an MBA (2025), along with minors in Mathematics and History. I use my math minor as data analytics experience as a foundation for my approach to software development.
Most people don't want software, they want solutions by any means necessary. With experience in business planning, financial analysis, and communication, I can do more than just code. I'll use every tool at my disposal to solve any problem.
What I Build
At Work
I'm not at liberty to discuss specifics.
For Fun
ML-powered college football analytics, homebrew software for retro game consoles, and video game mods.
Beyond Code
College Football Analytics
I love to harness the data generated by college football games. I build ranking systems, analyzing play-calling tendencies, and predict outcomes with statistical models.
3D Printing & CAD
I've been 3D printing since 2015. I design creative and functional models in SolidWorks for printing on all sorts of prints.
Open Source
I contribute to open-source projects that I rely on. When there's a problem or annoyance one of my dependencies, I'm not afraid to tackle it. I use GitHub Actions daily, and I make sure to contribute and keep them working for everyone.
How I Work
My favorite projects solve real problems. I enjoy automating away monotonous tasks with custom software. I build tools for my coworkers and myself to save us time, money, and energy.
That's why I value both technical skills and the business context. You can't build good software without understanding every aspect of implementation, from development to users to financial impact.
