Problem-solving drives me. I love deep thinking to create simple but meaningful, scalable solutions that grows both with the product, the team, and the users.

With 8 years specializing in frontend engineering—mainly using React and TypeScript—I've collaborated on interdisciplinary teams, building well-designed products that generates profitable businesses.

I stay up to date through books, blogs, meetings, and, most importantly for me, by traveling to conferences. In 2023, I attended JSConf Chile, JSNation and React Summit (Netherlands), Future Frontend (Finland), and JSConf Colombia. In 2024, I've been to Solana Breakpoint (Singapore) and JSConf Chile.

Hey! Join me on Twitch to build projects and sharpen software engineering skills.

Bring your ideas, your questions, and your coffee.

I usually stream on Saturday at 6pm to 12am UTC.

I've launched Subtis, a product inspired by solving a real problem while refining my software engineering skills. Built with cutting-edge tools like Bun, Hono, Supabase (PostgreSQL), Remix, and Cloudflare, it provides synchronized subtitles for various movie and TV show versions. As well offering different clients, plugins, and integrations such as a Web app, Stremio, CLI, and soon VLC.

After spending too much time finding properly synced subtitles, I created Subtis to streamline the process. Like my previous products, it's free and soon will be fully open-sourced.

Currently is delivering 60k requests per day and serving 400 MAU.

My tech stack is crucial for delivering high-quality work efficiently. My core stack consists of TypeScript, React, and Tailwind, while I use Next.js or Remix as meta-frameworks, depending on the project's needs.

I rely on several libraries to streamline development. Zustand as a state management, Zod ensures secure runtime values with schema validation, TS-Pattern allows for pattern matching in complex logic, and useStateMachine simplifies state management without the mess of mixed hooks. For testing, I use React Testing Library for UI components, Playwright for end-to-end testing, and GitHub Actions for seamless CI/CD automation. Other tools in my workflow include shadcn/ui for UI components, Nuqs for URL state management, Tempo to handle dates, and Framer Motion, Motion Number, Motion Primitives, and Rive for animations.

For hardware, I work on a MacBook Pro 16” M4 Max with 128 GB RAM, paired with an ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP monitor. My setup includes a Nuphy Halo75 V2, Magic Trackpad, Shure MV7 microphone, and iVANKY FusionDock Max 1. On the software side, I use Google Chrome, Cursor code editor, and Warp terminal as my daily essentials.

I write about my experiences and learnings in the software engineering field.

Some of my posts go deep into technical topics, while others are more general on product building.
