Marco Alvarado

Applied AI Full-Stack Engineer

Ten years shipping software. The last few: taking AI-enabled products
from zero to production in small startup teams — usually as the only engineer in the room.

Now — Golden Navigator

Primary developer on the MVP of a health-fintech platform for seniors. I work directly with the founders and ship weekly.

  • LLM document pipeline — uploaded medical records (photos, PDFs, insurance cards) parsed into structured data with Reducto
  • Event-driven AI workflows — background parsing, retries, and long-running jobs with Inngest on AWS
  • Accessibility-first frontend — Next.js 15 / React Aria, built to WCAG AAA for users aged 60+
  • AI-native process — spec-driven development with Claude Code; how one developer keeps startup velocity without the tech debt

How I build

I build AI products and I build using AI — that distinction matters.

Spec ──► Claude Code (agentic CLI) ──► RFCs, edge cases, tests defined up front
Ship ──► small PRs, feature flags, contract tests (Playwright / Vitest)
Learn ─► Mixpanel & PostHog events, funnels, measured rollouts
