About
I’m Alan (Kaido) — backend developer with 7+ years on the CNC shop floor.
I build software for the manufacturing industry I know from the inside. Currently a CNC Programmer at Millar Gear while working on tools like food-weight-calculator, NC++ (a C++20 CNC programming language), and Visual CNC (a G-code toolpath visualizer).
Before writing production software I spent six years programming CNC machines at MVV srl in Italy — Fanuc 3-axis and Mazak Integrex 5-axis. That background shapes how I build: manufacturing teaches you that precision isn’t optional and edge cases aren’t hypothetical.
On this blog I write about things I’m building and the intersection of manufacturing and software — things only someone who’s been on the shop floor can write.
Previously: backend at Cardinal (Adyen payments, GraphQL, Web3); backend at Hyper Foundry (AI consultation platform). Self-taught developer, Professional Certification at Start2Impact.
