Planta
Founding Engineer at Bocho. Jan 2025 - May 2026
Overview
At Bocho, I was one of the first two engineers building Planta: a product that used AI agents to help people find relevant professional connections at the right time.
Events were the starting point, but the product thinking was broader: helping relationship context become useful beyond a single room or moment.
From January 2025 to May 2026, I worked on the design, development, deployment, and iteration of the product from its earliest stages. I worked mainly as a full stack engineer with a strong backend focus.
Selected work
- Built backend-leaning full stack product features from early requirements through deployment.
- Developed AI-agent and voice-agent capabilities as part of user-facing product workflows.
- Worked on backend architecture, database modeling, product workflows, frontend implementation, and deployment.
- Helped connect AI, communication, and automation capabilities into practical product behavior.
- Collaborated with design, product, and go-to-market profiles in a small founding team.
Tools and technologies
Technologies I worked with in this role included Python, TypeScript, MongoDB, AWS, Redis, LLM APIs, voice-agent tooling, communications APIs, email delivery, messaging platforms.
