Hernan Rengel Chavez
@hernanrengelchavez
Full Stack Software Engineer and Team Lead who builds scalable, high-performance products and mentors teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Full Stack Software Engineer and Team Lead with extensive experience across backend, frontend, cloud, automation, and AI-driven development. I focus on designing scalable architectures and delivering high-performance applications that hold up in production.
Most recently, I lead cross-functional engineering efforts—setting architectural decisions and code quality standards while overseeing frontend and system-level design. I mentor engineers through technical reviews and best practices, especially around React, Next.js, API design, and distributed systems.
Across my recent roles at AssureSoft and beyond, I’ve delivered measurable improvements: building product features with React and Redux, implementing scalable backend APIs in PHP/MySQL to reduce query latency, and contributing to reliable microservices implementations. I also work closely with UX/UI teams to deliver pixel-perfect, accessible interfaces and participate in deployments, monitoring, and high-availability optimization.
My background also includes integrating third-party payment and financial APIs, modernizing legacy systems to reduce technical debt, and building monitoring dashboards with ELK Stack and Grafana. I bring practical cloud and DevOps strength (AWS/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Terraform, Jenkins) and use AI code generation tools like Cursor and Windsurf to accelerate development.
