Full-Stack Drupal Developer at UDLA who cut page assembly time by 25% with an Atomic Design system.

Colombia
Message

At Universidad de las Américas (UDLA), I architected the frontend for a decoupled platform using Drupal 10, Next.js, and TypeScript. My Atomic Design component system reduced new page assembly time by about 25%.

I also built Perfilame, a multi-site project that shares endpoints across sites and uses access control and session management with NextAuth and JWT. I worked with the backend team to define API contracts and improve integration performance.

As a Freelance Drupal Developer with Factoría de Arte y Diseño S.L.U., I’ve collaborated remotely on 27+ projects across Drupal 9, 10, and 11. I define reusable theming schemas and component systems to support consistent delivery from Figma to production.

Earlier, at VMLY&R Colombia (WPP), I developed and maintained 15+ responsive portals and reduced page load times by 10% through CSS and JavaScript optimization. At Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali, I built emisora.javerianacali.edu.co from scratch and maintained the university’s main portal.
