What I'm working on right now.

Inspired by nownownow.com. Updated when life shifts, not on a schedule.

● OWNING IN PRODUCTION

Systems I built that are now on stable cadence — maintenance, hardening, and incremental improvements rather than ground-up new builds.

▸A multi-agent voice system for healthcare scheduling — built and maintained end-to-end, live in production, stable.
▸A multi-gateway payment abstraction — Strategy Pattern keeps each integration scoped to its own DTO, strategy class, and job queue. Recently extended with a new provider.
▸A government-authorized e-invoicing compliance service — Strategy Pattern for provider swaps, multi-establishment support. Recently extended to a second country's tax model.
▸A medication delivery platform — broad third-party integration layer spanning ERP, support, messaging, and AI calling.

◌ ON THE ROADMAP

▸More complex AI chatbots beyond the current scheduling scope. Scope and architecture still being defined — likely multi-agent orchestration with stronger deterministic guardrails.

THIS SITE: The AI chat on this site is mine end-to-end · public chatbot grounded on my CV, now with multi-turn conversation memory and honest fit-boundary framing for comp/role questions · NestJS + Groq + Redis answer-cache · hardened against prompt-injection with a deterministic output sanitizer · GitHub heatmap merges contributions across both my accounts into one real activity signal

RUNNING / SELF-HOSTED

This site, its API, and my side projects all run on infrastructure I operate myself — no managed PaaS.

▸A Hetzner VPS running everything in Docker Compose, behind Traefik as the reverse proxy and TLS terminator.
▸Self-hosted observability — metrics, uptime monitoring (alerting to Discord), and container log aggregation — so I see problems before visitors do. Admin dashboards sit behind a WireGuard VPN, not exposed to the internet.
▸GitFlow CI/CD: a release branch triggers an automated GitHub Release, image build, and zero-touch deploy over SSH. Merge to main, walk away.

OFF THE CLOCK

▸Getting into Pokémon TCG collecting — tracking my card values with TCGVault, the project above.
▸Playing through the mainline Pokémon games on my own pokemon.cativo.dev route, no story repeated.
▸Daily-driving and slowly modding a Civic Type R FK8 — PRL intake and intercooler, Morimoto V2 headlights, AlphaRex NOVA-Series tail lights so far.
▸Reading The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories by H.P. Lovecraft.

LEARNING / EXPLORING

▸Multi-agent LLM orchestration — production-safe pipelines, deterministic safeguards over model choice, failure modes that don't require a rollback.
▸LLM evals and prompt engineering — output scoring, rubric-based benchmarks, systematic regression testing for AI pipelines. Making "does this actually work" answerable.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

ROLE: Senior backend or tech lead at a company building real systems — payments, AI in production where the validation layer is the hard part, distributed services, the kind of work where the messy parts are the interesting parts.
LOCATION: Remote · UTC-6, works well with US hours.
STATUS: Actively looking for the next role. If what you're building sounds like it belongs on this page, let's talk.
