Open to software engineering roles

Engineered. Tested. Deployed.

I'm Antony Perez - a software engineer in the SF Bay Area. I build full-stack applications and the GitOps infrastructure they ship on, with a CI pipeline proving every commit.

01 - About

Engineer first.
Writer when it counts.

I build software end to end: the application, the tests that verify it, and the pipeline that ships it.

At Clover Network I work embedded with Agile engineering squads, building GitHub Actions automation, CI guardrails, and API integrations for mobile SDKs and e-commerce modules. At home I run a bare-metal Kubernetes cluster with full GitOps deployment - Talos Linux, FluxCD, zero-trust networking - because the fastest way to understand infrastructure is to be the one paged when it breaks. This very page is a React Three Fiber physics simulation deployed through a CI pipeline.

And the writer part? It means my PRs, commit messages, and docs are the ones engineers actually want to read. I finish my B.S. in Computer Science in May 2026 and I'm looking for a team that values tested code shipped fast.

02 - Experience

Where I've shipped.

Technical Writer

Sept 2024 - Present
Clover Network, LLC · Sunnyvale, CA
  • Architected custom automation and verification scripts with GitHub Actions, establishing CI guardrails that improved platform integrity by 95%.
  • Engineered API integrations and technical documentation for mobile SDKs and core e-commerce modules, significantly accelerating engineering onboarding.
  • Spearheaded migration of legacy resources into git-backed architecture, enabling modern version control and high-quality peer-review workflows.
  • Collaborated with cross-functional Agile engineering teams to guarantee production feature accuracy and accelerate validation lifecycles.

Laboratory Technician

Apr 2022 - Sept 2024
UL Solutions · Fremont, CA
  • Executed hardware-software interoperability safety tests and data-driven diagnostic matrices on prototype infrastructure for Tier-1 enterprise customers.
  • Maintained cloud-based tracking systems and digital audit logs in strict alignment with international regulatory frameworks and QA compliance.
  • Partnered with software and systems engineers to isolate edge-case defects, reducing product defect rates by 15%.
03 - Projects

Built, tested & running.

Production infrastructure, full-stack team builds, REST APIs, CI tooling, and degree coursework - designed, shipped, and tested.

GitOps Cloud Infrastructure Home Lab

github ↗

Production-grade Kubernetes running on bare metal in my home - declaratively managed, self-healing, and administered over a zero-trust network.

  • Immutable bare-metal Kubernetes on a Talos Linux kernel layer, tuned for local compute budgets
  • Automated GitOps deployment engine with FluxCD + Kustomize - every change ships from a git commit
  • Private, offline LLM subsystem compatible with LM Studio for secure local AI processing
  • Full observability, scheduled CronJob backups, and an encrypted Tailscale mesh for zero-trust admin

Full-Stack Inventory App

github ↗

A full-stack RESTful CRUD application for tracking e-commerce inventory, built as a team ("Team Rocket") through the full request lifecycle.

  • Sequelize Item model (name, description, price, category, image) backed by Express CRUD routes
  • Front-end views to list, view, add, edit, and delete items, styled with Tailwind CSS
  • Automated test coverage across every route; collaborated via feature branches and pull requests
Node.jsExpressSequelizeTailwindJestREST · Team

Movie Theater REST API

github ↗

An Express + Sequelize API serving a movie-theater database - Users and Shows resources with full endpoint coverage and server-side validation.

  • Two Express routers exposing GET / PUT / DELETE endpoints, including user-to-show associations and genre filtering by query
  • Server-side validation with express-validator (show titles capped at 25 chars; usernames must be valid emails)
  • SQLite via Sequelize with a re-seedable database; every endpoint verified in Postman
Node.jsExpressSequelizeSQLiteexpress-validatorPostman

WGUPS Package Routing - DS&A II

github ↗

A delivery-routing program (WGU C950) that schedules 40 packages across 27 addresses while holding total distance under a strict mileage budget.

  • Custom self-adjusting hash table for O(1) package lookup by ID, with no external data-structure libraries
  • Greedy nearest-neighbor routing algorithm that keeps all trucks under the 120-mile constraint
  • Console interface to query any package's status and delivery time at any point in the day
PythonAlgorithmsHash TablesGreedy SearchCLI

SonarCloud Quality Gate in CI

github ↗

A GitHub Actions pipeline that runs the test suite and pushes results to SonarCloud for static analysis and quality gating on every change.

  • Workflow triggers Jest tests on every push and pull request to main
  • SonarCloud scan wired into the pipeline for coverage, code smells, and security findings
  • Dockerized Node service with a sonar-project.properties config and automatic-analysis disabled in favor of CI
GitHub ActionsSonarCloudJestDockerCI/CD

Front-End Portfolio Application

antonyperez.com ↗

A responsive single-page application demonstrating scalable front-end architecture - including the test suite and pipeline that keep it deployable.

  • Component-driven SPA built with React, Vite, and CSS Modules
  • Automated unit + integration suite with Vitest and React Testing Library - test-driven from the start
  • Full CI/CD via GitHub Actions: build validation, lint gates, and automated production releases
ReactViteVitestRTLGitHub ActionsCSS Modules

DefectPredict - AI Test Prioritization (Capstone)

github ↗

My WGU B.S. Computer Science capstone (C964): a machine-learning service that predicts which code is most likely to fail and reorders the CI/CD regression suite to run the riskiest tests first - shrinking feedback time and cloud compute.

  • Random Forest classifier scoring each commit's defect risk from version-control history, defect tickets, and past test outcomes
  • Features engineered from commit metadata: TF-IDF on commit messages, one-hot encoding for author and module, then standardized
  • Targeted a 30% drop in regression-suite runtime and ≥85% precision identifying failing modules on the first test pass
  • Served as a FastAPI microservice in Docker, wired into Jenkins via webhooks, logging every prediction to PostgreSQL for retraining
  • Secured with OAuth 2.0 and TLS 1.3; validated through unit, integration, and end-to-end tests plus a two-week shadow-mode rollout

The portfolio is a project too — treated like production software, not a template. Open the dev tools; the build is part of the pitch.

  • Interactive 3D badge on a physics-simulated lanyard — React Three Fiber + Rapier rope joints, draggable and throwable
  • Progressive enhancement: a pure-CSS badge renders instantly, then upgrades to WebGL physics when the device can run it
  • Built with Vite, deployed automatically to GitHub Pages by a GitHub Actions pipeline on every push to main
  • Hand-rolled design system, a vanilla-JS command palette (try ⌘K), and a fully period-accurate 2006 easter egg

About Antony
About me:
hiii i'm antony!! 👋 i'm a software engineer & technical writer from the bay area. i write the code AND the docs so ur engineers will literally never be confused again. currently a technical writer @ clover network where i build CI guardrails w/ github actions. graduating w/ my B.S. in computer science may 2026!! i also run a whole kubernetes cluster at home w/ gitops bc i think it's fun (it is)
Who I'd like to meet:
a hiring manager w/ great taste 😏, recruiters who reply to emails, & anyone who has ever written a unit test voluntarily
