AI software developer at Self-employed building n8n automations and LLM-powered full-stack applications.

United States

Message

At Self-employed, I develop and maintain full-stack applications using AI-first methods, including AI-powered IDEs and Claude Code to improve code quality and reduce time to market.

I design n8n workflows that connect CRMs, databases, and APIs, and integrate large language models into web applications for chatbots, data analysis, and content generation.

I build responsive interfaces with React and TypeScript, backed by Node.js services and PostgreSQL, and manage containerized applications with Docker and cloud services.

Before focusing on software development, I worked in project management and operations. At Tecnipetroleos Cumare SAS, I defined project scope and KPIs; at Montajes y Servicios Profesionales Ltda., I managed project lifecycles, budgets, and compliance documentation.
