Leadership · Automation · DX

Full-stack engineer, tech lead, and builder of developer-first systems.

I lead engineering teams, automate the hard parts, and build systems that scale. Over the last 12+ years I have shipped across commerce, SaaS, gaming, and real estate — leading cross-functional teams, building automation that eliminates toil, and raising the bar on developer experience at every layer of the stack.

Community

Typical attendance for ReactJS Colombia meetups, workshops, and talks.

Stack

A full-stack toolkit built around automation and DX.

React and TypeScript sit at the center, but the work extends across the full stack: backend services, automation pipelines, testing infrastructure, and delivery tooling.

Selected work

Work shaped by real teams, real constraints, and measurable outcomes.

From headless commerce and esports to real estate and open source, these projects show how I approach architecture, automation, and delivery under real constraints.

Built products across fintech, gaming, and SaaS, including Team Liquid, NurtureBoss, and Stardust.gg, with a focus on performance and scale.

What I do now

Engineering that ships and systems that last.

My work spans full-stack delivery, developer tooling, and automation — finding the slowest parts of a team's workflow and making them disappear.

How I lead

I stay close to the code. I help teams set standards, cut rework, and make better decisions earlier — especially on architecture, automation, and developer experience.

Outside the sprint

I co-organize ReactJS Colombia, write about DX and engineering workflows, and keep building while working remotely from Medellin and on the road.

Writing

Practical writing for engineers who build and lead.

I write about developer experience, automation, TypeScript, and the engineering decisions that help teams ship with confidence. Published in Towards Dev and on Medium.
