๐ ๏ธ Professional Experience and Project Development
I present a professional career that combines the discipline of formal roles within companies with the initiative and dynamism of entrepreneurial projects, demonstrating versatility, commitment, and a comprehensive ability to face technological challenges.
๐ผ Formal Work and Key Collaborations
This section details experience in a corporate environment, focused on applying methodologies and collaborating in teams.
Full-Stack Developer โ Synergo Comunicaciรณn Alternativa (Grupo Redes Humanas)
(2020 โ Present)
Role focused on the development, maintenance, and functional validation of critical systems, with key contributions both technically and through informal coordination.
- Requirements and Time Management: Direct communication with end users to gather needs, translate them into technical requirements, and estimate development timelines.
- Functional Validation: Frequently responsible for validating that developments met business objectives before release.
- Team Collaboration: Individual and pair programming, with cross-code reviews. Frequently explained implementations to teammates and reviewed their work to optimize quality and efficiency.
- Technical Reference and Informal Coordination: As the most senior team member, I naturally assumed a role of guide and technical reference. On multiple occasions, I became the go-to person for solving problems, even for developments I had not directly implemented.
- Technological Environment: Development with Laravel, Angular (2 to 19), MySQL/PostgreSQL. Work with servers deployed on Google Cloud Platform (virtual instances) and in-house infrastructure.

Initial design of architecture and database for a new SME payroll system with hexagonal architecture and vertical slice patterns, using Docker. -
๐ Angular CLI Migration (v2 โ v19)
Part of the team that tackled the full migration of a legacy Angular CLI v2 system to Angular 19.
The leap required a deep rewrite due to radical changes in project structure and dependencies, practically starting from scratch.
Contributions:- Refactored multiple critical modules and components.
- Updated and ensured compatibility of key dependencies.
- Restructured build system, configurations, and environments.
- Validated functionality with end users to guarantee continuity in sensitive processes.
Result: Achieved tangible progress and improved maintainability, although the project was canceled by management before production deployment.
๐ This challenge gave me solid experience in legacy migrations, handling over 10 years of technical debt, and solving incompatibilities in large-scale projects.
-
๐งช Modernization Initiative: Lumen/Laravel 5.4 โ 11
Independently updated a Lumen/Laravel 5.4 legacy project to version 11, initially focusing on the login module and a hiring process view.
Although not an official requirement, I performed this in parallel to assigned tasks, testing backend compatibility with the frontend in a local environment.
Contributions and learnings:- Resolved code and dependency incompatibilities.
- Migrated authentication and middleware to modern Laravel standards.
- Adapted views and controllers to the new framework.
- Validated full login and hiring flow in Angular with the updated backend.
Result: While not deployed in production, the system ran locally with the updated frontend, proving the feasibility of migrating a critical platform to modern Laravel versions without losing functionality.
๐ This challenge provided practical experience in legacy framework migrations, handling major framework core changes, and validating compatibility with modern front-end applications.
๐ Co-founder and Lead Developer โ Vit Sensors
(2022 โ Project in maintenance stage)
This section highlights my initiative, technical leadership, and end-to-end delivery capacity. The project is now in a stable and automated phase, requiring far less intensive effort than the initial stage.
Full-stack/backend development project focused on sensor management and agricultural process digitalization, with a focus on scalability and resource optimization.
Main Responsibilities
- Technical Leadership: Defined architecture and strategic platform decisions.
- Backend Development: Implemented APIs in Spring Boot and migrated logic from earlier versions.
- Data Management: Migrated data from poorly structured DynamoDB (NoSQL) to optimized relational AWS RDS.
- Started from Functional System: Took a first version of the platform (to visualize sensor measurements) and expanded it by adding administration modules for sensors, users, crops.
- Frontend Development: Updated platform from React 2020 version to the latest (React 19).
- AWS Infrastructure: Configured deployments with Elastic Beanstalk, Amplify, and Route 53.
- Feature Improvements: Integrated automatic email alerts, scheduled tasks, and GPS-based sensor data storage.
- Teamwork: Mentored interns and reviewed technical contributions for platform evolution.
Key Technical Achievements
- Optimized sensor data write latency from ~3 seconds to 300โ400 ms (85% improvement), ensuring backend stability under load.
- Implemented asynchronous automatic alerts and scheduled tasks for recurring calculations.
- Updated React to v19, ensuring modern infrastructure compatibility and improving maintainability.
- Identified infrastructure optimization: platform could operate on a small instance without load balancer, configuring SSL certificates in AWS and achieving ~15% monthly cost savings.
- Led technical decisions in the transition to RDS, ensuring platform stability and scalability.
โ Approach to Next Role
My dual experience provides both corporate discipline and ownership. Entrepreneurship is the best proof of my self-motivation, technical leadership, and ability to deliver results end-to-end; skills I will fully apply to team challenges and company objectives.
๐ง Technical Foundations and Core Development
This section highlights my experience in developing systems under resource constraints, a fundamental pillar for understanding code optimization.
Embedded Systems Development (C/C++)
(2016 - 2020)
Initial experience focused on developing firmware and control applications, in both academic university projects and paid assignments, proving the ability to apply knowledge practically.
- Languages: C and C++ (efficiency-oriented and direct hardware control).
- Platforms: Development with microcontrollers ([STM32, Arduino, PIC, Texas Instruments, Cypress]) and bare-metal systems.
- Focus on Optimization: Practice in writing efficient code for limited memory and processing environments.
Relation to Current Role: This foundation enables me to design Spring Boot systems with greater awareness of code efficiency, resource management, and overall application performance.
