Senior Software Developer at King Tide building financial data tools with LLM enrichment and RAG.

At King Tide, I designed and implemented a financial platform with NestJS and PostgreSQL, including a REST API, ETL pipeline, and Next.js admin dashboard.

I introduced LLMs to enrich financial data, match news articles to companies, and assign sentiment scores. I improved model accuracy with prompt refinement and RAG using pgvector similarity search.

At Vector Casa de Bolsa, I led the migration of a fragmented Python and AWS Lambda REST API to Elixir, Phoenix, and GraphQL. I also introduced event-driven workflows and built a customer support chatbot with Next.js.

Earlier, I built a lending platform from scratch at Zigo Capital, owned Stripe workflows at Kickfurther, and contributed to Laravel open-source projects, including packages with over 1.3M downloads.
