Raúl Salamanca
@ralsalamanca
Full-stack engineer automating webOps and CMS delivery with proven performance gains.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Full-Stack Engineer with 4+ years of professional experience delivering end-to-end web solutions across 7+ CMS platforms and technology stacks. I’m at my best in complex, undocumented codebases where I’m expected to ship—bringing structure to backend, frontend, security, and automation.
At Latam Digital Marketing, I served as sole technical owner for 7+ simultaneous international accounts, and I improved Core Web Vitals scores from 50–70 to 90+ using browser-only Lighthouse auditing (with zero server access). I integrate AI tooling (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor) directly into my workflow so I can manage concurrent delivery without compromising quality.
I’ve taken full ownership of React/Strapi projects and turned incomplete work into go-live-ready systems—building Strapi sitemap logic with custom collection mapping for multi-URL rendering, implementing a reverse proxy for sitemap delivery without exposing internal CMS URLs, and engineering per-page Vercel cache rebuild logic to eliminate stale-cache cycles.
I’m also security- and compliance-aware: I built PHP WordPress plugins and custom Drupal modules with strong input handling, helped remediate an active SQL injection vector in production with zero downtime, and supported PSAT accessibility compliance across multiple markets via ServiceNow and JIRA.
