About Me
I'm Abraham Gonzalez, a full stack engineer with 8 years building production software at scale — from enterprise mobile platforms to LLM-powered developer tools. I write TypeScript and Rust by preference, live in the terminal, and my GitHub is full of tools I built because I needed them.
My passion is developer tooling — building the things that make other builders faster and more creative. I've spent years developing React applications with a focus on architecture, performance, and the kinds of multi-tenant, high-complexity UIs that demand both.
Currently a Senior Software Engineer at Publix Super Markets, where I shipped the Pharmacy iOS and Android apps from greenfield to production — growing the rating from 1.9 to 4.9 stars — and built an internal MCP server for AI-driven iOS automation before Appium released theirs.
Based in Miami, FL and open to New York City, San Francisco, and Seattle.
