I am Edi, and I'm building software for nature photographers

A little about me: I'm an engineer by trade who's been hacking with computers since the late ’90s. I created this website to share my story, photos, and my projects.

I live in Petaluma, California, after years of moving across the country for new opportunities. Since arriving in the USA in 2016, I’ve become a big fan of hiking, camping, and exploring nature. Photography grew naturally from that experience.

My most monetizable skill is coding. I can build products and talk to users. The boldest choice I've made in my career is leaving the safety of a big company to found a startup, where I got to learn a lot about the value of solving problems for people.

Most of the code I write today is in TypeScript and Python. I have solid experience as a full-stack developer, have been a mentor to junior devs, a hackathon winner, cloud operator, and overall, a sparker of new projects. On the machine learning side, I work with different model architectures and modalities both locally and in the cloud.

When I'm not in my computer, I'm usually outside doing one of these things: spending time with my wife, photographing insects with macro lenses, birding, playing tennis, biking, hiking, paddling an outrigger canoe, and ocassionally playing video games.

Today, I'm building software that nurtures my curiosity of exploring nature and the way I document it with my camera.
