Ahoy! 👋 I'm P-A, a software engineer, mountain biker, skier, kitesurfer and all around scrappy experimenter 🧪, and currently building Pinata

I've built my career around engineering scalable software platforms, focusing on backend and infrastructure at Baseten, 1Password, Pleo and Coveo. Ask me about asynchronous systems, scaling platforms, leading remote teams, or automating infrastructure and development lifecycles.

When I'm not coding, I'm crafting things with my hands. I make pizza dough from scratch, play with my food (in a good way), and build custom wooden furniture through my workshop, P-A L'atelier. I'm drawn to beautiful photos, thoughtful architecture, and the craft of woodworking.

Find me on GitHub or Instagram, or drop me a line at pa at stjean dot me.
