Full-stack engineer with ~10 years of experience building web applications, with a frontend focus across React, Next.JS, Ember.JS, and Angular and backend work in Ruby on Rails, Node.JS, and FastAPI.
- While I was in college, I worked as a Quality Analyst in a call center; it taught me the value of constructive feedback, which I carry into my dev work today.
- AI builder enthusiast: I lean on Claude skills and configuration to deliberately scope how much reach AI has in my work.
- I really enjoy teaching and mentoring; sharing knowledge is the best way to learn and stay sharp.

- next-react-intl: an open-source npm package that brings
react-intl/ FormatJS to the Next.js App Router without the ABI-fragile SWC plugin. Computes message ids at runtime (byte-for-byte identical to@formatjs/cli), so extract/compile runs under Turbopack or any bundler. ESM-only, TypeScript, MIT. - eliminatupack: a privacy-first informational resource for people in Latin America affected by the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, guiding them through reporting paths, takedowns, and country-specific legal context. No database, no collection of personal data. Built with Next.JS, TypeScript, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, MDX.
- Kasakami (in development): a bilingual (ES/EN) Japanese-style stationery e-commerce store for the Mexican market. A Turborepo monorepo with a MedusaJS v2 backend + admin and a Next.js 15 storefront, on PostgreSQL/Supabase with Stripe, owning the full commerce stack on open source instead of Shopify.
