About Me

I'm a Computer Technology Engineer specialized in software, and I enjoy turning complex problems into clear, reliable software. I work across the whole stack: interfaces in Angular, React and Next.js, services in .NET, Node.js, NestJS and PHP, and the Oracle, PostgreSQL and SQL databases behind them.

University shaped how I think about software beyond the code. My engineering degree, earned Summa Cum Laude in a bilingual program, came with three specializations: software management, which taught me to plan, estimate and lead projects; cybersecurity management, so security is part of how I design rather than an afterthought; and entrepreneurship, which keeps me focused on the value a product creates for the people who use it.

I've also led technology vendors, making sure their work meets each project's goals and quality standards. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, enthusiastic, responsible and always learning, lately generative AI, prompt engineering, automation and UX design. If you need someone who will understand your problem before writing the first line of code, let's talk.

What I Do

Full-Stack Web Development

Modern web applications from end to end: fast interfaces in Angular, React and Next.js, and solid APIs in .NET, Node.js and NestJS, packaged with Docker and ready to grow.

Data & Databases

Well-designed Oracle, PostgreSQL and SQL databases, plus business intelligence that turns your data into clear decisions.

Secure by Design

Security built in from the first line of code. I apply cybersecurity management practices so your software protects your users and your business.

Project & Vendor Leadership

I plan, estimate and lead software projects and coordinate technology vendors, keeping everyone aligned on goals, deadlines and quality.

Product & Business Vision

With an entrepreneurial background, I look past the feature list to the value it creates, helping shape products that make sense for the business and the people who use them.

Business Platforms

WordPress sites and Microsoft Dynamics CRM solutions configured and extended to fit the way your team actually works.
