Hello!

I'm John Patrick Coniconde

Senior Full-Stack Engineer ยท Agentic AI Builder ยท Rust Developer

About Me

I build products end to end โ€” from frontend architecture and design systems through backend services, cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD โ€” making and using agentic AI workflows to ship faster. Six production web apps shipped across fintech, payments, and SaaS.

Recently shipped a full-stack platform in under 30 days using AI-augmented workflows and agentic tooling.

Currently exploring: Blockchain ยท Web3 ยท Distributed Applications

Active open source contributor โ€” I ship complete apps end to end, and the released projects below are the proof. github.com/kulapoo

Open to roles where I can own product outcomes, not just write features.
