What I do
I build web products end to end: from the database and the API to the interface people actually use. I've spent more than two years shipping production software for municipalities, healthcare and energy, usually owning the technical decisions on the backend. Next.js with TypeScript is my home turf, and my own project is Pulso, a dashboard of Chilean economic indicators fed straight from the Central Bank's API.
