A project they built or tested

29 words

A library REST API in Go with Gin and PostgreSQL, with JWT authentication. I designed the schema, wrote the handlers and table-driven tests, and run it in Docker: https://github.com/example/library-api

How they use AI tools

30 words

I ask Claude and Cursor to draft tests for an endpoint, then run them, read the failures and fix what they missed. I review every change before I commit it.

Anything else they told us

27 words

I worked six months with a remote team in Berlin, so I'm used to written updates and overlapping hours. Night shifts for North American clients suit me.
