Martin Patino
I'm a Senior Software Engineer based in Phoenix with over 5 years of experience building scalable serverless architectures on AWS. I specialize in turning complex technical challenges into elegant, maintainable solutions.
My expertise centers on AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, and React Native. I'm passionate about creating systems that are not just technically sound, but also cost-effective and built to last. Clean architecture and thoughtful design matter.
Beyond day-to-day development, I'm deeply interested in AI agents, MCP servers, and the art of simplification. I share my insights and experiences through writing when I can.
