I build SaaS platforms that hold up in production

4+ years building production-grade SaaS. I specialize in scalable backend systems, complex third-party integrations, and owning infrastructure end to end, from database design through to cloud deployment.

01About

I own the whole stack, schema to deploy.

I'm a full stack developer in Cochabamba, Bolivia, working remotely with teams in the US, Canada, and Mexico for the past four years.

My core stack is React, Next.js, NestJS, and PostgreSQL, but the work I enjoy most sits behind the interface: designing schemas that won't need rewriting, building billing engines that reconcile correctly, and owning infrastructure end to end.

I've shipped multi-tenant platforms, real-time systems, and cross-border products for regulated markets. At my current role I was promoted to Tech Lead after three months and now own the architecture of a compliance SaaS built from scratch.

What I go deep on

  • Multi-tenant architecture
  • Billing & payments
  • Async pipelines & queues
  • Cloud infrastructure
  • Database performance

Four years, four teams, one throughline.

Every role has meant owning a system end to end, not just the feature in front of me.
