About

Professional summary

I am an experienced Full Stack Developer with a strong focus on back-end API development and database design, proficient in Node.js and Laravel. Over the years, I have successfully built full-stack features and backend APIs to support dynamic UI needs, while leading performance audits to enhance system efficiency. My work has involved modernizing legacy systems and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver robust backend solutions. I am passionate about leveraging my back-end expertise to drive impactful backend engineering projects.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working with both frontend and backend technologies, including JavaScript frameworks like Vue.js and React, as well as backend frameworks such as Laravel and Django. I am skilled in designing scalable APIs and optimizing database performance using MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. I also have a solid understanding of Agile methodologies, test-driven development, and continuous integration and deployment.

I have held senior roles where I led front-end architecture initiatives, improving user experience and accessibility in line with WCAG standards. I have also contributed to building reusable UI component libraries and mentoring junior developers to uphold best practices in frontend testing and responsive design. My approach combines technical expertise with a strong focus on user-centric design and performance optimization.

My experience spans multiple companies and projects, including ecommerce platforms and legal software solutions. I have consistently delivered improvements in conversion rates, page load times, and user engagement through thoughtful redesigns and backend enhancements. I am comfortable working in hybrid and remote environments and thrive in collaborative, fast-paced teams.

I hold a Bachelor in Software Engineering from Universidad Católica Andrés Bello and a Diploma in Project Management from Griffith College Dublin. These qualifications complement my technical skills with project management knowledge, enabling me to contribute effectively to both development and delivery aspects of projects. I am eager to continue growing as a Full Stack Developer and contribute to innovative and impactful software solutions.
