What I'm looking for

Looking for remote or hybrid roles where I can contribute to backend or full-stack projects focused on scalable systems, clean code, and real-world impact. Open to freelance, contract, or full-time work with teams that value growth, collaboration, and practical innovation.

I'm a Backend-focused Full-Stack Developer based in Venezuela, with two years of hands-on experience in development & IT support. My core expertise lies in designing robust APIs, architecting secure backend systems, and creating cloud-first solutions that solve real-world problems.

At Escuela Técnica Industrial Mariano Fernández Fortique, I led the development of a full-stack institutional website MVP. I built secure backend APIs using Node.js and MySQL, ensured responsiveness and usability on the front end, and collaborated directly with staff to tailor the solution to their needs. My earlier work in IT support strengthened my ability to troubleshoot complex issues and optimize systems for stability and performance.

I thrive in remote and globally distributed teams, and I’m currently open to freelance, contract, and full-time opportunities. I value clean, maintainable code, a user-first mindset, and continuous learning. My goal is to contribute to high-impact projects while leveling up as a developer and collaborator.
