I build secure, accessible TypeScript web and identity products with React, Next.js, and Node.js.

At GATACA, I lead web and cross-platform digital identity products, including an identity wallet used by 500K+ people for authentication.

I build reusable React architectures, component systems, and design systems for SaaS applications, white-label mobile apps, internal tools, and digital credential workflows. I improve Next.js performance through code splitting, dynamic imports, Static Site Generation, and image and font optimization.

Previously, I delivered Angular, Node.js, Express, and MySQL applications at Entradas a tu alcance, including a cashless festival wristband top-up application. At CREALOGIX, I developed banking web and mobile products, took on Tech Lead responsibilities, supported production releases, and built Jenkins mobile release pipelines.

I also open-source tools such as a11yst, a continuous accessibility testing CLI built with TypeScript, Playwright, and axe-core, and Daily Games, a local-first React platform. I enjoy leading reviews, mentoring engineers, and shipping secure, accessible software from technical design through production.
