I build apps, games, and the systems behind them.

I'm Jose Hinojo, a software engineer in Dallas, Texas. Cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure by day, and my own apps, games, and websites the rest of the time.

Projects

Apps and games I've built outside of work, on the web and on Google Play.

Asteroids, but square. A small tribute to the arcade cabinets that got me into all of this in the first place.

About me

I'm Jose Hinojo. I live in Dallas and I've been writing software since 2013, interned in 2019, and have worked professionally since 2020, first at CBRE and now at AT&T, where I'm a Senior Member of Technical Staff.

My day job is infrastructure: the APIs and automation behind AT&T's nationwide network monitoring, running on Kubernetes in Azure, with plenty of Linux, networking, and security work alongside it. It's the kind of engineering nobody notices unless it breaks.

The rest of my time goes into everything above. I'd rather finish something rough than polish something forever.

Degrees

  • MBA
  • M.S. Cybersecurity & Information Assurance
  • B.S. Computer Science, minor in Mathematics

Where I've worked

  • Senior Member of Technical Staff, AT&T 2024 – present
  • Professional Member of Technical Staff, AT&T 2022 – 2023
  • Software Engineer, AT&T 2021 – 2022
  • Software Engineer, CBRE 2020 – 2021

What I work with

Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL. Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, Azure. Snowflake, Elasticsearch, Grafana. Linux administration and network systems. CI/CD pipelines and automation.

On the web side: hosting and domain setup, DNS, SSL certificates, email routing, performance and accessibility tuning, SEO basics, analytics, backups, and security hardening.

Websites I look after

Webmaster and site management work, from hosting and updates to ongoing maintenance.
