01 · About

Rhythm in, noise out

I'm a full stack developer with 4+ years of experience, specialized in application modernization. I work at emBlue Latam — one of the leading digital marketing platforms in Latin America — migrating a legacy .NET monolith toward microservices and shipping features in React and Node.js.

Outside of work I run my own software studio, StoreMax, where I design and ship real products: a personal finance app, a booking SaaS for beauty studios, and the operating system of a dance academy. Everything on this page was built, deployed and maintained by me.

And then there's the other half: I'm a salsa dancer and teacher. Stage presence, listening, leading, practicing until the hard parts look easy — that's dance, and it's also engineering.
