I'm a software engineer and longtime startup technologist. My work has moved between early-stage companies and enterprise-scale financial technology, but the thread has stayed the same: make complicated systems useful, legible, and humane.
Before software, I studied philosophy in the Honors Program at California State University, Northridge, graduating cum laude. That training still shapes how I approach engineering—define terms, inspect assumptions, follow an argument all the way through, and remain suspicious of easy certainty.
Cardoni.net is where those two practices meet. You'll find technical notes from the archive alongside new essays on software craft, technology ethics, systems thinking, and the philosophical questions that keep resurfacing in code.
