Daniel Rojas
@danielrojas1
Frontend Software Engineer specializing in React & TypeScript product ownership.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Frontend Software Engineer with 10+ years building and shipping web and mobile products, using React and TypeScript since 2014. I’ve owned front-end architecture decisions at high-traffic teams like Falabella, and I led delivery at Mercado Libre across complex, fast-moving technical projects.
I combine product craftsmanship with end-to-end ownership: I design, build, and release my own apps and tools—from idea to production. That includes LAZZ (React Native), Kitty Pot (a physics-based web game), and Sexto Sol (a React catalog optimized for mobile), with a strong focus on making complex workflows feel simple.
I work “AI-native” in practice—daily with Claude Code in production and LLM API integration—so I naturally thrive in high-speed product cultures. I also build and test the APIs behind my frontends (Node.js/NestJS and Python/FastAPI), which keeps collaboration frictionless and lets me unblock delivery quickly.
