Pawalt developed and maintained features for the modal-labs/modal-examples repository, focusing on robust cloud-based machine learning operations and secure code execution. He delivered an end-to-end example for serving Large Language Models using Ollama on Modal Cloud, implementing a server with GPU-backed resources, persistent storage, and an OpenAI-compatible API, all in Python. Pawalt also improved onboarding documentation to streamline endpoint discovery for new users. In addition, he stabilized the Simple Code Interpreter’s sandbox execution by refining container process boundaries and patching security vulnerabilities in dependencies. His work demonstrated depth in API development, cloud computing, and dependency management, emphasizing maintainability and reliability.

April 2025: Delivered an end-to-end Ollama-based LLM serving example on Modal Cloud and corrected onboarding documentation to improve endpoint discovery. This work provides a repeatable pattern for deploying LLMs on Modal, leveraging GPU-backed resources, persistent model storage, and an OpenAI-compatible API, along with basic verification tests. The documentation fix reduces setup friction for users relying on the Modal dashboard for endpoint discovery.
