Software Engineer with 12+ years of experience engineering high-scale, real-time
systems. My trajectory spans from co-building a mass email marketing SaaS from scratch
in a 3-person team, to architecting cloud-native telemetry platforms and leading
international engineering teams on-site in Vietnam. Specializing in logistics, GPS
tracking, and full-stack mobile ecosystems, I bridge complex backend architectures with
effortless user experiences. My focus is simple: taking complete technical ownership,
setting architectural standards, and stripping away complexity to build software that
scales.

Independent Projects
A few of my largest independent builds. There are more, but these are the ones that mean the most to me.
Transportes Ejecutivos
Ecosystem
A B2B company offering corporate transportation services — and one that runs its
entire operation on the platform I built and still maintain. From the web dashboard
the team creates and dispatches services with their passengers and pickup addresses,
administers passenger, vehicle, and driver records, and automatically flags when a
vehicle's or driver's documentation falls out of date, all backed by reporting. I also
built a REST API for third-party integrations, a native Android app for drivers, and a
React Native app for passengers.
D Side
Internal Operations Platform
Developed an internal task management and operational traffic platform using Laravel
(PHP) and Vue.js. Engineered a custom budget estimator tool embedded with complex
pricing formulas to optimize client billing accuracy and increase profitability.
Technologies
AI-Assisted Workflow
I build with AI in the loop as a force multiplier — Claude, GitHub Copilot, and
Gemini (Google Antigravity) — to prototype faster, review my own code, and keep
raising the quality bar. The architecture and the decisions stay mine; the tooling
just lets me move quicker and ship better.
