ABOUT
I'm Nino. I live in Chicago.
I make things across a few mediums — software, photographs, music, essays. The projects on this site are a better window into how I think than a résumé.
I've been writing code since 1999 and building with AI agents since the tools existed. Day job is product architect at commerce.com.
What I'm Into
Photography
Action sports and volleyball. I run Flickday Media for tournament coverage. 20,000+ photos in the archive.
Music
I DJ. House, disco, and whatever makes people move. Been doing it for years, still love it.
Writing
Signal Dispatch is my blog—essays on making things, software craft, and working through ideas in public.
Building
Software built with AI agents. Rally HQ, Signal X Studio, and whatever else is compiling today.
Photography
I shoot volleyball and action sports. It's a good counterbalance to sitting at a computer — you're outside, moving, reading the play, anticipating the moment before it happens.
Background
I've been writing code since 1999. Started at small agencies, moved through consulting firms, eventually ended up building commerce platforms at scale. Now I build with AI agents as a core part of the process — not as an afterthought.
The day job is product architect at commerce.com. But the projects on this site are what I spend my free time on — and honestly, they're a better window into how I think than a career summary.
If you want the formal timeline, it's on the Now page.
Connect
Always happy to talk about building things, shooting things, or whatever's interesting.
