Jose Marcelius Hipolito
Senior Fullstack Developer @ AKQA
I build scalable web applications
Featured Work
FYP Creator Platform
A creator platform I designed and built solo — from database schema to deployment. The experience of wearing every hat on a real product.
TitanFX Dashboard Modernization
Solo frontend migration of a live trading platform. Thousands of daily users, zero tolerance for downtime, and a backend team that thinks in jQuery.
Developer Experience Tools
Three tools born from specific pain — a CS team that couldn't reproduce bugs, QAs blocked by stale cache, and translations that wouldn't update on lower environments.
Latest from the Log
The Vampiric Effect
I shipped an 847-line PR on a Wednesday night and couldn't recall a single architectural decision the next morning. The output was mine. The understanding wasn't.
The Death of Code Review
Code review was the last quality gate in open source. AI-generated PRs are making it economically unviable. When it takes 30 minutes to review what took 30 seconds to generate, what replaces human judgment?
Eight Months Old and Already Load-Bearing
I built my thesis on Docker 0.8. The tool barely existed. The instinct I built using it has never stopped.
Stay in the loop
I write about building AI-powered dev tools, Go CLIs, and the systems behind my personal intelligence OS. Weekly, no spam.
