Learn how to leverage your existing tools and some open-source alternatives to enhance your AI with rich content from your own ecosystem.
Hey there! My name is Miguel and I build stuff for the world wide web.
I'm a full-stack developer drawn to hard problems and clean solutions. Over the years, I've shipped everything from consumer-facing apps to distributed backend systems, always with an eye on scalability. These days my focus is on bridging the gap between engineering and user experience.
About Me
Hey, I'm Miguel a full-stack software engineer with a deep love for building things that work well at scale.
Since graduating in 2018, I've spent my career navigating the full spectrum of product development from crafting responsive frontends and design systems to architecting distributed backend services and event-driven pipelines. Much of that work has been in the e-commerce space, where performance and reliability aren't optional, they're the product.
I thrive at the intersection of engineering and user experience, and I'm always chasing the next hard problem worth solving.
