About me

I’m Daniel Pina, a backend engineer from Portugal building and studying practical AI systems.

My interest is not in AI as spectacle. I care about the parts that make systems useful: APIs, agents, automation, reliability, workflows, and the engineering decisions behind them.

I approach AI from a backend engineering perspective: clear interfaces, reliable execution, maintainable systems, automation that saves real work, and tools that fit into existing software.

This site is where I document what I’m learning, building, and clarifying as I move deeper into AI engineering.

What to expect here

  • Practical notes on AI engineering.
  • Agent and automation workflows.
  • MCP experiments and examples.
  • Backend patterns for AI systems.
  • Clear explanations without hype.
