About Me

I'm an independent software developer based in Buenos Aires with over 18 years of experience. I handle the entire project myself — from how data is stored and processed to the interface your team will actually use.

I specialize in turning messy operations into clean software — whether that means building an internal tool, launching the first version of your product, or integrating AI into an existing workflow. I work remotely with clients in Argentina, across LATAM, and internationally.

Most projects have a first working version ready in 1–2 weeks. Available for hourly work, fixed-scope projects, or ongoing collaboration — no long-term commitment required to get started.

I don't build mobile apps, WordPress sites, or online shops, and I don't do design-only work. If you need ongoing maintenance for an existing system without new development, I'm probably not the right fit either.

What I Can Build For You

MVP Development

I take early-stage product ideas and turn them into working software — fast. The goal is a real, deployed first version you can show to users or investors, not a prototype that lives in Figma.

Backend Systems & Integrations

I design and build backend systems that scale — REST APIs, PostgreSQL databases, cloud deployment, and messaging infrastructure for reliable web applications.

Business Automation & Internal Tools

I build internal systems that replace scattered spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads, and disconnected apps — dashboards, approval flows, tracking tools, and admin panels that match how your team actually works.

AI-Assisted Workflows

I integrate AI into business processes where it actually adds value — automatic document processing, content generation pipelines, data extraction from unstructured sources, and operational automation using the OpenAI API.

Recent Projects

Spanish Language Practice App

Built a web platform for learning Spanish that supports both teachers and independent learners. Teachers can create and share exercises with students, while individuals can generate personalized practice automatically using AI. The platform works in multiple languages and includes shareable links and daily practice reminders via Telegram.

Cultural Events Discovery Platform — Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires has hundreds of cultural events scattered across the web. I built a platform that brings them all into one place — easy to search by type, date, and price, with options to save and share events. Event information is collected and organized automatically.

Who I work with

I work best with business owners and product owners who need a developer to own the entire project independently — no in-house team required. If you have a clear problem and need someone who can figure out the solution and ship it, that's the kind of work I do best. Based in Buenos Aires, I work with clients across Argentina, LATAM, and internationally in English, Spanish, and Russian.
