I build software end to end, turning real problems into solutions people actually use, and giving back to the developer communities that shaped me.

DAVID BATO-BATO
About me
Self-taught, endlessly curious, and most alive when an idea turns into something people can actually use.
I taught myself to code years ago and haven't stopped since. I'm drawn to the hard, unglamorous parts of the stack (fail-open caching, idempotent payment flows, AI agents that hold their state when everything around them doesn't) less for their own sake than for the quiet satisfaction of building a system that just works, even when things go wrong.
What I love just as much is the people side of it: leading build sessions, mentoring newer developers, and shipping tools for the tech communities I'm part of. Sharing what I learn, and learning out loud alongside others, is the part of this craft I'd never trade away.
Expertise
Four areas I work in deliberately: interfaces, the cloud they run on, the AI inside them, and the reliability that holds it together.
Full-stack engineering
Product-grade interfaces backed by typed, well-bounded services.
- Next.js · React · TypeScript
- NestJS · FastAPI · Express
- REST, webhooks, realtime
Cloud & infrastructure
Lean, observable deployments that stay cheap as they scale.
- AWS · GCP · Cloudflare
- Durable Objects · R2 · Cloud Run
- Terraform · Docker · OIDC CI/CD
AI engineering
Agents and retrieval wired into real product workflows.
- LangChain · LangGraph
- RAG · embeddings · tool-calling
- OpenAI Responses API
Performance & reliability
Designed for the failure mode first, then the happy path.
