# Taylor Z.

> Software Engineer @ EPC Energy | Backend • AI • Agent

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/taylorz

I’m a software engineer, focused on building high-performance web systems that bridge application design and infrastructure reliability.

From frontend (React, Next.js) to backend (Node.js, Django, FastAPI), I’ve led and delivered end-to-end projects including real-time data pipelines, AI-enabled monitoring platforms, and microservices running on Docker and Kubernetes (AWS ECS). My experience spans distributed systems, vector-based AI agents, and large-scale battery data analytics.

At EPC Energy, I work on AI-powered energy management systems, optimising both software performance and system sustainability.

I love solving complex problems with product impact, whether designing scalable backends or shipping interactive user interfaces. I thrive at the intersection of infrastructure and user value.

Currently open to new opportunities, especially in high-impact teams tackling infrastructure scalability, real-time systems, or AI-native platforms.
