Julian Reyes Escrigas

Senior Software Engineer · Full-Stack · Mobile · Cloud

Self-taught engineer, 15+ years building software that runs in production. As we say back home, "echao pa' lante".

I work across backend, frontend, and mobile, so I usually see the whole system instead of one slice of it. These days that is mostly Python and TypeScript; before that I shipped production code in PHP, Elixir, Ruby, Go, and Node.js, whatever the problem actually needed.

On frontend I stick to the common frameworks and care mostly about it being fast and responsive. On mobile I've done native Android and hybrid on both Android and iOS.

Most of my work has been distributed systems and microservices on GCP and AWS, with the usual Docker, CI/CD, and observability around it. What I enjoy is owning a thing from the architecture and data model down to the UI.

Lately most of my time goes into agentic AI for code security. Outside work I build my own agent tooling: MCP servers, long-term memory, and desktop automation for the assistants I use every day.
