About

Building for
millions, faster.

I'm a senior software engineer based in San Salvador, focused on scalable, high-performing products across the stack. These days I work on the backend with Node.js, the web with React, and mobile with React Native and Expo.

I work automation-first — mentoring teams and bringing AI into every stage of the cycle, from planning and edge-case discovery to code review, testing, and shipping carefully reviewed PRs.

Currently an AI-Assisted Software Engineer at Ravn.
