I’m a Full Stack Developer with 5+ years of experience building production-grade applications with JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, and React. I’m currently moving into AI Engineering, bringing hands-on experience with RAG architectures, LangGraph agent orchestration, n8n workflow automation, and local LLM deployment with Ollama.

At Kiura, I led technical design and architecture using NestJS and Clean Architecture, applying design patterns (Strategy) to establish development standards and reduce technical debt. I optimized PostgreSQL performance with efficient indexing and complex SQL queries, improving overall query response times by 30%, and standardized local and CI/CD environments with Docker to cut setup time and eliminate environment-related bugs across the team.

Before that at Globant, I designed and implemented scalable REST APIs using Node.js and Express.js, integrated MongoDB for flexible data storage, and built secure authentication/authorization flows using Firebase and JWT. I’m especially proud of translating UI designs into pixel-perfect frontend components with Tailwind CSS and working effectively in fully remote, cross-functional agile teams through sprint planning and code reviews.
