About Me

Full-Stack Product Engineer & IT Engineer

I build and maintain web applications used by real clients, combining frontend and backend engineering with testing, deployment, and production support. At Microverse, I also gained extensive experience in code review, mentoring, and remote technical team collaboration.

Today I use AI coding agents to accelerate implementation while keeping ownership of requirements, architecture, code review, automated verification, and reliable software delivery. My client work includes Umbala and FIS Certificaciones.
