Two-time founding engineer. Currently the first engineering hire at N86, building the platform 0→1 with the founding team. Previously founding engineer / frontend lead at mfg.parts, where I built a real-time collaborative 3D CAD viewer (React + Autodesk Platform Services + PubSub) and ran user research with 110+ users across 40+ companies. Also did a full-stack stint at Acadium, shipping an internal sales dashboard that cut response time 40%+.

I'm a frontend-heavy full-stack engineer who closes the design-to-code loop solo. Comfortable with ambiguity, real-time collaborative interfaces, and agentic workflows as a daily working mode.

If you want an eager engineer who thrives in early-stage chaos, reach out! I'm also open to contributing on a contract, internship, or volunteer basis for young startups — in exchange for experience, equity, or a mix. Happy to chat.

For one year I reverse-engineered the major education platforms — Google Docs, Microsoft Office, Nearpod, Kahoot, ect. — so that AI agents can drive them on a teacher's behalf and automate classroom workflows. The work runs in over 10,000 classrooms today.

Building agents against production code you don't control is harder than it sounds. The code is mangled, so first you have to understand how the app was built and then take it apart from the outside. It's reverse engineering, but it depends on knowing how to build the thing in the first place.

The role came with monthly compliance and security training centered on FERPA, so I'm fluent in handling student data responsibly. That's not new ground for me. I spent five years building on Drupal, which the most prestigious learning institutions still run today, and version control and access control were the hard part of every project. Student data is the same problem.

I've been building browser agents and browser automation since 2018, well before it was a category. That's paired with 13 years of building dynamic, data-heavy UIs for web and mobile.

I've also built admin dashboards for a custom legal document management system. And a CRM for email marketing, with a drag-and-drop interface for designing and branding email templates for social campaigns. I've taken several companies from 0 to 1, as a consultant and as a full-time employee, across fintech, streaming, real estate, education, marketing, and media. I've worked at a 130-person AI company and on a 7-person team where I wore every hat. I do my best work on small, fast-moving teams.

I’m a senior generalist engineer with founding-style ownership. I like building systems end-to-end: protocol and product code, backend platforms, infrastructure, internal tools, and product-facing surfaces. Several times I was either an initial or an early hire in small and large-scale projects and products.

For the last two years, I was a founding engineer at Load Network, an early-stage L1 EVM chain with Arweave-based data settlement. I worked across the stack: developed protocol-level abstractions, consensus and execution clients, bootstrapped infrastructure, DevOps, and smart-contract prototypes. I also built private AI agent harnesses, ran multi-agent tests, and used LLMs for spec review and cross-client protocol design research and data gathering.

Before that, I spent six years in gamedev building backend platforms for massive-scale games at Strikerz/UFL (uflgame.com) and Vizor Games. I was an early hire, working directly with the CTO to build the infrastructure and design the system from the ground up. I engineered microservices for matchmaking, game economy/payments, quests, auth, moderation, and data pipelines (Kafka, Postgres, ClickHouse). I also managed Kubernetes, observability, internal admin tooling in Python/JS, and took part in high-stakes production launches.

I built my engineering foundation in enterprise Business Intelligence and Data Architecture. I shipped large-scale data warehouses (OLAP) for global companies (pharma, logistics), writing heavily optimized Oracle PL/SQL and T-SQL.

Open source: Merged contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem, including the Reth client in Rust, Flashbots SUAVE, and Alloy.

These days, I'm spending more time on product-facing surfaces (React, Rails), exploring Zig, and using LLMs for the right dose of entropy and speed.

Looking for: founding engineer, senior/staff software engineer, full-stack or backend roles where broad ownership and technical depth matter.

About: Hey, I'm Marciano, a product design engineer who designs and ships end-to-end. I take things from first concept and interface design all the way to working production code, no handoff in between. 7+ years of it: consumer apps, platforms, internal tools.

Some recent stuff: I built Stembuswijzer.nl, a polling station finder that went viral during the Dutch elections last year. I built Campfire.gg, a watch-together video platform. And I'm currently building Vit (joinvit.club), an all-in-one health tracking app (food logging, workouts, habits, body measurements).

I'm looking for a part-time engagement (roughly 24 hours/week) on something meaningful in health, sustainability, or community tech.

I'm at my best where design and engineering aren't separate roles, owning a feature from the Figma file to the deploy (I do admit I rather just work in code nowadays, but can still use Figma at the start). I work fast, think in systems, and care a lot about clarity, quality, and usability. If you're building something that should actually get used, let's talk :)

Lately I'm in the spaces between data science and engineering reliable, high-performance, resilient, yet highly-usable tools for scientists and other developers, across the stack. It's a lot of fun.

Some recent projects:

- Performance tuning and infrastructure cost-reductions on https://oceanconnect.ca. It's faster and cheaper to run than ever. Costs are essentially cut in half, and performance across hot paths, on average, is about 30% better. There's now comprehensive observability across the stack, making it so we can rapidly diagnose issues with complex model processing pipelines and data acquisition systems. On top of that, the error rate has dropped dramatically despite increased visibility into what's going wrong (a lot of issues were silently swallowed by OOM culling in Lambda, for example). Also, I managed to reduce the storage footprint of the database by around 80% by more aggressively pruning obsolete data (especially raster tiles), tightening the sliding window around useful and aged-out data. This was done in part by partitioning data better so we could free it sooner without worrying about dead tuples and autovacuum. It's tighter, cleaner, faster, and cheaper to back up.

- Developing a low-cost solution to autonomously regulate temperatures in 40 saltwater tanks in a remote lab, using equipment which doesn't support remote controls. Using digital potentiometers inserted into each temperature controller, the system spoofs the tank's temperature to trigger heating or cooling, then observes until the correct temperature is reached. It uses several dissimilar redundancies, including a dead man's switch, to ensure there can't be run-away heating or cooling loops. The cost for new hardware with remote control capability came in close to $100K, but this solution (along with supporting software for designing temperature profile time series, monitoring tanks, and viewing historical data) is under $15K, yet required much of the same supporting software work. It's fully compatible with future hardware supporting direct remote control, as well; we'd only need to remove the temperature-spoofing loop and send set points to the units instead.

- A library for analyzing biodiversity datasets, inferring semantics about their data, and then creating a declarative configuration which can be used to transform the data to Darwin Core and validate it. It has a core library that can be used in any kind of client, like a CLI, web API, or a GUI. The declarative configuration makes it so datasets can be worked on in GitHub, then the CLI can run in a workflow to ensure it's still valid as it changes and grows. It uses DuckDB to make assertions about primitive types and data/relational integrity, then uses the application layer to make semantic assertions according to the specification's requirements. The entire workflow is highly supportive to scientists, explaining any issues with the data in very plain terms from start to finish. This has made it so scientists can make old records conform to the standard and have it ready for publishing far faster and with higher confidence than ever. At the same time, it also serves the purpose of helping scientists understand a large, complex standard one field at a time as they work through issues, rather than forcing them to tackle the entire standard from the outset. Ideally, this will lead to them working with the standard earlier and more often, with better knowledge and intuition for how to do so. It's built using Deno, Effect, Qwen 3.5 (for initial semantic inference passes), and DuckDB.

I'm also interested in LLM harness development and creating more deterministic agents with safety and behaviour guarantees.

My work experience is diverse, ranging from SaaS to science to a bit of firmware and robots. I'm interested in just about anything so long as it's genuinely useful, challenging, and the team is excited.

Email: hello @ bad-software dot com

GitHub: https://github.com/soulofmischief

Full-stack JavaScript-focused engineer/entrepreneur with lots of experience in building scalable single page apps in different frameworks, web3, multiplayer web games, building transformers and other networks, all sorts of things. Product-oriented, executive and leadership experience, comfortable in both autonomous and collaborative settings, capable Linux sysadmin. I know how to ship, end to end.

I've focused for several years now on agentic and generative work such as simulating networked LLM-augmented embodied agents, interface research, too much to list here but always happy to talk more over email. While the rest of the industry is just starting to latch onto agentic systems, I can offer years of experience, product insight and leadership.

Available for consulting, startups, projects, anything web or agentic.
