What I'm looking for

I'm open to full-time, part-time, and contract roles. I work in Pacific Time with full overlap with US teams.

At LenderHomePage.com, I build and extend a production Laravel SaaS platform for the mortgage industry. I built Company Sponsored social posts so loan officers can publish company-provided content, and I turn Figma designs into responsive web templates.

On Pasajero, my side project, I designed and built a real-time public transit map for Tijuana with Laravel, Vue.js, and a maps API. Riders can find nearby routes, identify units by color and vehicle type, and check in to improve arrival-time estimates.

As a freelance web developer, I build custom Laravel and PHP sites and applications for US and Mexican clients, from mockups through production. My work has included a two-phase insurance site with a multi-quote API comparison engine, payment integrations, and modernizing legacy PHP code to PSR-1 through PSR-4 standards.

At Mexshield, I designed and built the product MVP and related services, including an Android app, and led the development team and deployments. Earlier, I maintained Xambre, a PHP CRM and point-of-sale application, and built vendor integrations, a shopping cart module, and encrypted digital invoicing.
