About
I am a senior full stack engineer with more than twelve years building web and mobile products for international teams. I am based in Barranquilla, Colombia, work remotely with U.S. and global clients, and communicate comfortably in English and Spanish.
My sweet spot is pairing disciplined Rails APIs with thoughtful React or Next.js interfaces—shipping features, reviewing code, and helping teams make pragmatic technical decisions.
Outside of work I play drums; music keeps me creative, but engineering is what I optimize my calendar around.
