01 — About

Full-stack engineer, eight years in.

I build and maintain production web applications, mostly in TypeScript, React and Node.js. Most of that work has been with distributed teams on enterprise products for international clients — new features as well as moving legacy systems onto current architectures.

I like being close to architecture decisions, and I keep learning through side projects and the workshops I run at GDG Arequipa.
