What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote Ruby on Rails role where I can keep growing as a full-stack engineer and contribute to a product I care about. Open to roles at any seniority level. I value teams that take engineering quality seriously, with TDD and clean code as part of the workflow. Preference for US or LatAm teams (UTC-5), but open worldwide

I'm a full-stack software developer based in Medellín, Colombia, with 3 years of professional experience building and maintaining web applications using Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, and PostgreSQL. Test-Driven Development is part of how I work day to day — I write thorough RSpec and Minitest suites and treat tests as a first-class part of every feature I ship.

I'm currently a Full-Stack Developer at Welbin, an educational platform, where I implement backend logic and build dynamic UI components with Stimulus and Tailwind CSS. In parallel, I work on Cheqbook as a freelance developer, maintaining Rails features and building a React Native mobile app with AI-assisted tooling.

Previously, I worked as a Ruby Developer at Globant, building the backend for a consumer-facing mobile application within a multicultural Scrum team, and as a Software Developer at AFTC Holdings, where I shipped front-end and back-end features and applied TDD across multiple projects.

My core stack: Ruby on Rails, Ruby, JavaScript, Stimulus, Hotwire, Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL, RSpec, Minitest, React Native, Git. I work in Agile/Scrum environments, communicate technical ideas clearly in English (B2+), and have full overlap with US business hours.

I'm open to remote Ruby on Rails opportunities worldwide, with a preference for US or LatAm teams, where I can keep growing as a full-stack engineer and contribute to a product I care about.
