Senior Software Engineer at DreamIQ building an edge AI platform with on-device RAG and cloud LLMs.
What I'm looking for
At DreamIQ, I architected and delivered an AI platform pairing on-device vector retrieval and local models with cloud LLMs. I also built backend services with Supabase, PostgreSQL, TypeScript Edge Functions, and Node.js.
At DNAMIC | Databricks Data Solutions, I led development of a hybrid mobile application connecting React web components with native iOS and Android modules. I developed native integrations for device sensors and health data, including HealthKit and Wear OS support.
At Atom Soluciones, I architected a cross-platform mobile banking app for Coopecaja using Flutter and Clean Architecture. At Infoya, I led feature development for The Home Depot enterprise iOS application and helped improve UX metrics and user retention.
I’ve also taught mobile development and business computing at Universidad Fidélitas and Universidad de Costa Rica UCR. Earlier, I developed Android and cross-platform applications, including features for Rappi and the Univoice language learning application.
