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 play with food, I make pizza dough from scratch, and build custom wooden furniture in my workshop, P-A L'atelier. I like beautiful things like photographs, buildings, and epic views from the top of a mountain.

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