Hey there! 👋

I'm Alessandro, a data engineer based in los angeles.

I've built software for teams that have grown on a global scale, and I post about my day to day.

Methodology

What's my day-to-day?

Titles like software engineer typically get people confused, but it's really broken down to three main steps, in my work in the least.

Analyze existing tech that's not working 100% for a company.

Most teams might be using what they know works best for others, but that's the exact reaosn why there are 100s of software that do slightly different things.

Tweak or rebuild from the ground up something that'll work better.

Two companies that both sell the same thing can require two totally different tech stacks. That's where I come in.

Take feedback and market climate on it being self-sustainable.

Take a closer look at market trends, audience feedback, and your business’s unique strengths to create a roadmap for lasting success.
