Email: pedro@pedroalonso.net

Full-stack engineer, 15+ years. Currently wrapping up a contract at Xero building the external API gateway for their financial analytics platform. Before that I built and shipped ReframeHQ solo, an AI product-photo app for Shopify merchants, still live. Modal GPU inference pipeline, background workers, automatic credit refunds on failed jobs, zero-downtime deploys on Dokku. One person running a GPU pipeline in production.

I write detailed, honest build logs of my AI/systems experiments, measured results, not hype (e.g. building a recommender in pure Postgres and watching the embeddings lose to ORDER BY count(*)): https://www.pedroalonso.net

Full-time or contract.

I trained my dog on 5 AI models in one day, what worked (and what didn't)

Something like CapRover wouldn't work for you? Although it's not very up to date. And the one-click collection of apps, is a bit outdated too. You'd need to reference your custom docker images.
