@rintojose
Design engineer and architect. 20 years in React, React Native, TypeScript, Node, NestJS and GraphQL, building AI-first products.
What I'm looking for
At Banks Technologies, I design and deliver an appraiser marketplace platform moving toward an LLM-based appraisal product. I also built internal AI tooling and MCP servers the team uses daily.
At Flux, I led design and architecture for an AI-powered engineering platform. The AI electrical engineering assistant cut expert validation from 45 minutes to 7, while workflow improvements reduced training time and onboarding time.
At HORIZON3, I worked directly with business stakeholders on a dynamic forms platform for real estate workflows. I designed a Figma drag-and-drop builder that reduced form creation from two hours to 15 minutes.
Earlier, I designed and built a cross-platform learning app at Learntiums Pty and worked across three sequential products at Highlighter, from architecture to product leadership. At Tata Consultancy Services, I built a visual IDE for composing app screens and exporting production-ready React or React Native.
