Oscar Campos

Senior Software Engineer & Architect · Vacaville, CA

Senior Software Engineer and Architect at Adobe, where I build AI imaging workflows for Adobe Express. I've spent 25+ years solving hard problems across the full stack — from Java backends to modern TypeScript/React frontends. These days I'm deep in AI: integrating third-party models, building MCP tools, experimenting with RAG and local LLMs, and shipping personal projects that explore what's possible with today's AI tooling. I care about clean code, strong teams, and helping engineers level up.
