# Salvador Hernandez > Software Engineer @MURAL Location: San Diego, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/salvadorhernandez Hi, I’m Sal! πŸ¦… 🐍 🌡 A Software engineer with broad experience across React, React Native, JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, and cloud platforms including AWS and Azure. At Mural, I work on product experiences and AI-powered features, building user-facing features with React and TypeScript that support visual collaboration workflows across the product. My work includes major UI updates, AI features like clustering, sentiment classification, summarization, and conversational interfaces that trigger AI capabilities, while staying mindful of product goals, UX, and engineering constraints. I enjoy building developer tools and learning through hands-on experimentation. Outside of work, I continue this through a homelab, running multiple Proxmox VMs, working with Docker, and self-hosting models and services.
