Adam M. Young

Senior Software Engineer at 9fin, building performant, data-heavy applications in Python and React. Outside of work I'm a photographer, a hiker, and an occasional runner.

I care about the boring things that make software good: clear observability, small bundles, accessible interfaces, and clean and maintainable codebases that work at scale.

What I work with

Frontend: React, Next.js (App Router, RSC), TypeScript
Backend: Python, Postgres, Redis, edge/serverless runtimes
Infra: Vercel, Cloudflare, Docker, AWS

TrailWise is a hiking, gear, and social platform for tracking mountain peak summits and trail routes worldwide. It features historical timeline tracking, gear management, trip planning, and social features, as well as offline LLM and smart watch support.

The website is built on Next.js Server Components backed by FastAPI, Postgres and Redis. Mobile is a cross-platform Flutter app, with offline LLM support built on Google's Gemma 4 model. Trailwise also exposes an MCP server so assistants can query your own hiking data.

My personal photography site. Full-bleed image grid, serving originals from Cloudflare R2 with on-the-fly resizing, EXIF-driven captions, and static generation for everything above the fold.

Next.js SSR

Blurdle is a daily browser game in the Wordle mould: guess the daily blurred picture in five tries, with the image sharpening on each miss. Score tracking and achievements, rendered server-side so day rollover is honest.
