Caprio
Lead engineer at Bizzy, building full-stack products for web and mobile, from infrastructure to the app people actually tap through.
About
I'm a software engineer, born and raised in Naples, Florida, who just graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in computer science and mathematics. Right now I lead engineering at Bizzy, where we help college students find local deals and give event organizers a clean way to sell tickets and get paid.
I like building things end to end, from the backend and infrastructure all the way to the app people actually tap through. Before Bizzy I built agentic AI and voice agents at Retentive Labs and trained AI models on code and math at Outlier.
My background is as much mathematics as it is software. I'm drawn to data science, statistics, and machine learning, and I like the moment where a messy dataset turns into something you can actually reason about. Outside of work you'll usually find me at a piano or DJing, with a basketball game on somewhere in the background.
