Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJose Nieto is a Senior Systems Programmer with 14 years of hands-on experience building backend systems, databases, and full-stack applications across academia and industry. Based in Mexico City and educated at UTEP, he combines practical systems programming with database engineering—contributing middleware and throttling logic to the popular Go router chi and adding JOIN support and resource-fixups to the upper/db DAL. His work spans networking tooling and privacy-focused clients (Lantern) and HTTP MITM tooling, showing a knack for low-level protocols, proxying, and observability features like request archival and logging. A lifelong tinkerer who started coding at 14, he pairs curiosity-driven craftsmanship with production-grade concern for resource management and robust error handling.
