Hi, I'm

Building scalable web products and leading teams — 4+ years in React, TypeScript & Node.js. Based in Mendoza, Argentina. Open to remote.

About me

Building products & teams.

I'm a Fullstack Developer with 4+ years of experience building web and mobile applications. I specialize in React and TypeScript on the frontend, with solid backend experience in Node.js, Java/Spring Boot, and NestJS. I care deeply about scalable architecture, clean component design, and polished user experiences.

Currently, I lead the frontend team at Follow LSN— a B2B SaaS platform for cargo logistics and e-procurement — where I balance hands-on engineering with architecture decisions and mentoring. I'm also actively exploring AI/ML and LLM integration as a next frontier.

Fast Learner

Consistently picks up new technologies and paradigms quickly — from integrating AI APIs at Itesa to leading real-time geolocation systems at Follow.

Critical Thinking

Approaches complex technical challenges analytically, breaking them down into actionable steps and evaluating trade-offs before committing to a solution.

Mentorship & Team Growth

Actively supports junior developers by sharing knowledge, reviewing code with constructive feedback, and helping establish processes that make the whole team stronger.
