Drew Ponce

I'm a full-stack developer who thrives at the intersection of AI innovation and practical engineering. My career is defined by adaptability—constantly evolving with emerging technologies while delivering robust, production-grade solutions.

Current Work & Technical Leadership

At Scorpion Enterprises LLC, I work with proprietary CMS systems, React architecture, and .NET integration across the full stack. Collaborating with talented engineers, I build and maintain systems that power marketing workflows for Healthcare, Legal, and Franchise sectors. My work focuses on developing key features, implementing performance optimizations, and architecting seamless connections between front-end interfaces and back-end systems.

Beyond enterprise development, I'm pioneering the future of AI-assisted development. I've built comprehensive workflows using Model Context Protocol (MCP) to bridge AI assistants with development tools, creating autonomous deployment pipelines that integrate JetBrains IDEs, Claude AI, and Cloudflare Workers. This represents the cutting edge of agentic AI—where developers can describe intent and AI autonomously handles implementation, testing, and deployment.
