Backend Developer · Full-Stack

Backend-focused full-stack developer. I design APIs, microservices and integrations, and take them to production on self-hosted or cloud infrastructure.

Available for remote collaboration, freelance projects and integrations.

My setup

Backend that
makes it to production

Developer based in Mendoza, Argentina. I started as a freelancer building microservices, marketplaces and online game servers, and went on as a tech lead and senior backend developer: service design, payment gateways, accounting and infrastructure.

I work across the whole stack, but I add the most on the server side: modeling the domain, integrating systems that were never meant to talk to each other, and leaving deployment automated.
