I'm a full-stack software engineer from Santiago, Dominican Republic. I will graduate cum laude in Computer Science from UASD and have spent the last few years building web platforms, desktop tools, SaaS products, and some other weird inventions with ESP32 and Arduino; you know, the usual stuff. I also tinker with AI models when the mood strikes; there's something satisfying about building something that learns.
My main stack is .NET + Angular, but I'm equally comfortable on the frontend with React, or deep inside a Linux server at 11pm wondering why MySQL decided today was the day to have opinions. I've shipped products to real customers, sold two of them, and I'm building more. I’ve even survived the trauma of migrating legacy databases where relationships didn’t exist and logic lived entirely in Visual Basic—normalizing a single, chaotic table into four proper ones without breaking the live system is my version of extreme sports. I'm also exploring Python and FastAPI — nothing revolutionary yet, but I built Bugboard with it, and that's real enough for me.
I started programming at 16 with C# — which, as it turns out, is also what pays my bills today. Not the most surprising plot twist. Back then it was mostly making games during high school, in between playing Halo 1 (a masterpiece, not up for debate) and occasionally picking up the guitar. The games are gone — lost on a broken mini-laptop somewhere in the past — but the language stuck.
What pulled me toward Computer Science was watching my cousin write assembly and C++ for electronics. He'd explain what he was doing and somehow it just made sense to me. I thought: that looks cool, I want to do that. No grand plan. Just curiosity and a cousin who codes. Sometimes that's enough.
My father is a doctor and, naturally, had a different career in mind for me. I ended up in software anyway — had to build my own path and my own contacts, but here we are. No regrets. There's also a version of this story where I became a baseball player: a manager wanted me on his team, my parents said no, and that door closed quietly. So between medicine and baseball, I somehow ended up talking to computers for a living. I think everyone involved is at peace with it now.
And yes, before you ask — I know this site doesn't have a fancy animated portfolio with parallax scrolling and a hero section. That's intentional. I'm not here to impress you with 20 libraries loading just to say hello. I'm a realist: if the content is solid, it doesn't need fireworks. Plain HTML and a little CSS have been getting the job done since before most JS frameworks existed. Some things don't need to be reinvented.
I led the complete modernization of an ecosystem that was born in Visual Basic and now lives entirely in the cloud, achieving an 80% increase in operational efficiency. Beyond the software, I designed the hardware prototypes for truck tracking using ESP32. I also ensured the Linux infrastructure and Azure databases were bulletproof. I’ve recently handed over the keys to the next team; I left everything so well-documented that it shouldn't explode — but just in case, I’m still keeping a watchful eye from the sidelines to make sure it all stays running smoothly.
During these years, I focused on creating software solutions with a clear business purpose. I developed and sold RentCarCloud, a multi-tenant SaaS platform for vehicle rentals, and built SalesMinimal, an accounting system that currently generates passive income for me. I also designed PicFlow for managing photography studios and a desktop suite for dental clinics that reduced the administrative burden by 40%. In parallel, I executed network infrastructure and CCTV security projects for residential clients, managing both the technical deployment and the direct client relationship.
I was part of the development team for the company's main e-commerce platform, participating in the entire software lifecycle and optimizing critical functionalities to improve user experience and system efficiency.
I run a YouTube channel about software architecture, system design, SQL, and the business side of engineering. Currently at 5.4K subscribers — apparently people enjoy hearing about this stuff from someone who actually ships things.
It's a lively community. Some people come for the content, some come to argue in the comments, and some come to argue with the people arguing. Opinions fly, debates get heated, and occasionally someone gets schooled. I think that's healthy — no technical community worth joining has everyone agreeing all the time. The only rule is respect. We're all family here, and no family is perfect.
This isn't just any documentation. It's the documentation.
Along with a group of friends and colleagues, I'm building a comprehensive technical reference designed to help the community. We're not just focusing on .NET and Angular; we're delving into SQL, Python, and the actual implementation of AI. The goal is to cover the fundamentals first—because someone has to write them well—and then scale up to architecture, systems design, and software engineering principles.
Most importantly: how to structure real-world projects. Not toy examples, but the decisions you face when something has to work in production. We'll include walkthroughs of systems we've built, showing the reasoning behind each choice, not just the happy ending.
The part I'm most excited about: a series of video interviews with developers who have 20 and 30+ years of experience. The central question: How do you program today compared to how you did in the '90s and 2000s? There's a generation of engineers who saw the industry completely transform, and they're rarely asked about it. We're going to do that.
In progress. It will be available here when it's ready—which, in software, means when it's actually ready.
The best way to reach me is by email. I don't list my phone number publicly — not because I'm antisocial, but because I've learned that anyone who truly needs to call can figure out how to send an email first.

I'm open to remote opportunities in backend .NET, engineering and development. I'm also interested in Python and FastAPI work — fair warning: I might blow something up by accident, but at least it'll be interesting. If you're building something interesting, I'm listening.
And yes — you might wonder why someone who's sold software and has active projects is looking for a job. Fair question. Sometimes you choose stability: a fixed schedule, a predictable salary, the ability to just live without everything depending on the next sale. Entrepreneurship is great, but so is taking it easy. Life's too short to always be hustling. I want to build good things, get paid fairly, and have time left over to actually enjoy it.
