Senior Full-Stack & AI-Native Engineer in the United States 🇺🇸 with 12+ years in production software. I direct Claude Code sub-agents like a tech lead directs a team — fanning them out across the entire stack while I own the architecture.

"The hottest new programming language is English." — Andrej Karpathy, who popularized vibe coding. Claude Code, created by Boris Cherny at Anthropic, is the agentic terminal that turns that idea into shipped software — and it's where I spend most of my engineering day.
I treat Claude Code as a fleet of engineers in my terminal, not an autocomplete. My workflow is heavily inspired by Andrej Karpathy's agent-first mindset and Boris Cherny's "let the agent run, then review the diff" philosophy.
| Feature | How I use it to build powerful processes |
|---|---|
| 🤖 Sub-agents (parallel fleets) | Spin up multiple agents to explore, plan, and implement different parts of a feature in parallel — then merge the diffs. |
| 🧩 MCP servers | Wire Claude into Postgres, GitHub, Sentry, AWS, and internal APIs so the agent acts on live context, not guesses. |
| 🪝 Hooks | Auto-run linters, tests, and formatters on every edit — the agent self-corrects before I ever see the code. |
| ⚡ Custom slash commands | Reusable /deploy, /code-review, /security-review workflows encoded once, run forever. |
| 🧠 CLAUDE.md memory | Project conventions, architecture, and guardrails live in repo so every session starts fully briefed. |
| 📋 Plan Mode | Read-only architecture passes before a single line changes — no surprises in the diff. |
| 🛠️ Skills | Packaged, repeatable capabilities (API scaffolds, migrations, IaC) the agent invokes on demand. |
🚀 Headless mode (claude -p) |
Drop Claude Code straight into CI/CD for automated reviews, refactors, and changelogs. |

Result: features that used to take days now ship in hours — with tests, reviews, and infra changes handled by agents while I stay focused on architecture and product.
Django + FastAPI on the back, React + TypeScript on the front, glued with clean APIs and real tests.
🧪 What I actually build (click to expand)
- APIs: Django REST Framework & FastAPI services with async I/O, Pydantic validation, OpenAPI docs, and JWT/OAuth2 auth.
- Frontends: React + Next.js apps with TypeScript, server components, and design-system-driven UIs.
- Data: PostgreSQL + Redis, migrations, query tuning, Celery/async task queues.
- Quality: pytest, Playwright, type checking, and CI gates — agents keep coverage honest.
Infrastructure as code, containers everywhere, and pipelines that deploy themselves.

"It works on my machine." — so I shipped the machine. 🐳
