> Full Stack AI (Python/React) @ Ensis | Automate the boring, ship the valuable

Location: Denver, Colorado, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/joemcadams

I'm a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 7+ years building cloud-native, AI-driven products at seed through post-IPO companies. 

I love the 0→1 phase—talking to customers early, delivering fast, and figuring out how to scale before things catch fire. I'm unapologetically lazy, which means if something can be automated, it should be. If we can delete more code than we write, even better. And while LLMs are the best thing since sliced bread, letting Claude do all the critical thinking is how you get Skynet-as-a-Service.

I care about building the right thing, the right way—and with the right people. I do my best work on teams who ask why before what, and stay humble enough to laugh at themselves (and let me make memes of them).
