I build practical AI-enabled software, not demos for their own sake.

I'm Adam Owada, a Seattle-based applied AI / full-stack engineer focused on agentic developer tooling. My work sits at the intersection of backend systems, product engineering, LLM workflows, MCP integrations, and data-heavy applications.

I work mostly in Python and TypeScript, with recent projects spanning FastAPI, Django, Next.js, React, PostgreSQL, SQLite, CI/testing systems, Codex plugins, and local MCP tool surfaces. I care about software that is useful, inspectable, and defensible in the real world.

Before focusing more heavily on applied AI and product systems, I was a Lead Instructor at Code Fellows, where I taught advanced Python, Django, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, Docker, React/Next.js, data science, testing, and software engineering fundamentals. That teaching background still shapes how I build: clear interfaces, readable code, strong documentation, and technical decisions that hold up under scrutiny.

Current work includes Observe Safety, an alpha-stage construction safety SaaS I'm building with my father, and several Codex-native projects exploring how AI-assisted engineering can become more auditable, repeatable, and useful.
