# Joseph Orduna > Full-Stack Software Engineer Location: Greater Boston, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/josephorduna Software engineer who works across firmware, cloud infrastructure, and AI — often on the same product. At Allen Datagraph Systems, I lead development of Label Studio, an AI-powered SaaS platform for professional label design, and I wrote the firmware and backend API for the SnapPress LP-1, our industrial digital label press. My day-to-day spans embedded C/C++ for real-time motor control and print systems, Python/FastAPI backends for cloud monitoring and device management, and full-stack web development for the customer-facing application. Not many engineers get to own a product from the circuit board to the UI — I do. Earlier in my career, I developed semi-supervised machine learning models at Vee24, automated testing pipelines with Python and Selenium, and built business intelligence tools at Clarivate. I also have earlier experience in robotics (LocoRobo) and 3D printing systems (NVBots). On the side, I run Practical Web Tools (practicalwebtools.com)— 1,300+ free, privacy-first browser utilities with zero signups and zero server-side data processing. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer 2 @ Allen Datagraph Systems, Inc.
