Lead Software Engineer
About Me
I am a lead software engineer with more than 9 years of technical experience building production-grade web and desktop applications for multinational enterprise clients across logistics, finance, and insurance.
I have spent over 5 years at Perficient, where I progressed from technical consultant to senior technical consultant and then lead technical consultant. My work has focused on end-to-end ownership, from architecture and implementation through deployment, testing, and post-release stability.
My core stack includes React, TypeScript, Electron, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. I have also worked extensively with automated testing, including contract, E2E, and white-box testing, and I am comfortable leading distributed multinational teams in Agile and Scrum environments.
A distinctive part of my background is hardware-software integration. I designed and implemented serial-port communication layers for logistics applications, including integration with Zebra barcode scanners, scales, and label printers, and I validated these systems with physical-device E2E testing before rollout.
I also have a dual profile in applied robotics and AI. My experience includes ROS 2, reinforcement learning, NLP, computer vision, and LLM application integration, along with research work that led to an IEEE Xplore publication and an industrial patent.
In addition to my engineering work, I have taught robotics, advised university students, and coached teams to competitive success, including a first-place RoboRAVE World Championship result. I value building reliable products, mentoring others, and turning complex technical challenges into practical solutions.
I am based in Colombia and work remotely. I speak Spanish natively, English at a C1 level, and have elementary Russian knowledge.

Experience
Progressed from Technical Consultant to Senior Technical Consultant to Lead Technical Consultant. Led full-stack delivery, hardware-software integration, testing, deployment, and AI-first initiatives. Worked on DHL Supply Chain, DFIN, internal AI proof-of-concept, and Lockton engagements.
Designed and implemented the hardware-software integration layer for a logistics operations app. Migrated the app to React and used Electron for serial-port access. Integrated Zebra barcode scanner, scale, and label printer devices and performed E2E testing before rollout.
Developed and stabilized features for a mission-critical financial document editor built with React, TypeScript, and Slate.js. Built the track-changes system from scratch, including roles, privileges, approve/reject workflows, versioning, and export.
Built a full-stack proof-of-concept with DevOps and deployment-pipeline ownership. Worked with US stakeholders and helped establish the technical base for the company's AI roadmap.
Led a client-management MVP using React, PostgreSQL, and integrated AI features. Designed the relational model and service architecture for the client lifecycle and delivered the product in four months.
Frontend development with React and component testing with Jest and Testing Library.
Worked on full-stack MERN development for a shift-management platform for teleoperators of autonomous delivery robots, including real-time slot assignment.
Designed and taught educational robotics programs focused on C++ and Python for vulnerable communities. Built drones and robotics kits and coached a team to first place at RoboRAVE.
Provided technical and pedagogical advice for robotic systems and built educational platforms for robotics, electronics, and programming.
Designed and executed experiments in non-destructive ultrasonic inspection. Developed an auto-parts assembly-line inspection sensor system that received a patent in Colombia and co-authored an IEEE-indexed paper.
