Engineering Manager with 26 years of professional software development experience (started at 19 during college!) in mostly in backend and full stack projects, with even some native QT/C++ development for a time. Moved from my native Costa Rica to about Seattle 8 years ago.

Exploring new team workflows for AI development, what works to improve productivity/enjoyment and what doesn't in the state of the art.

Internally at work: - MCPs for code traversal and understanding onboarding, code generation from Figma slides. - Using LLMs for ops and doc writing automation (making them less painful).
