About

The engineer companies call when the codebase is older than the interns.

My specialty is taking over and revitalizing legacy applications — VB6, WinForms and classic MVC migrated to modern ASP.NET Core / .NET 8 — together with REST API design and SQL performance tuning that actually holds up under production load.

Over the past years I've led AI integration in production SaaS — multi-provider AI pipelines (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and RAG — and contributed to OpenAI and Azure AI integrations on client projects. In healthcare, I build fine-tuning datasets and anti-hallucination guardrails that keep a clinical AI assistant from inventing diagnoses.

I own the full backend lifecycle end to end, thrive in async, documentation-driven teams, and I've worked remote with US clients for years — BairesDev, Applaudo Studios, Product Perfect — alongside a decade modernizing systems for the Dominican tax authority (DGII).

And when I'm not on contract, I build and operate my own products. Scroll down — several of them are live, in production, with real users.

Products — built end to end

Not side projects. Shipped software.

Every product below was architected and built by me — backend, frontend, mobile, AI, payments, DevOps. The business products are ready to implement, each in its own way — self-service sign-up, license, white-label, dedicated install or implementation — and some were built for a client, like Estimat Pro and Fénix.

ResumiBot — AI secretary for WhatsApp

A multi-tenant SaaS that reads busy WhatsApp groups and delivers back into the chat a daily AI summary, a narrated podcast, an infographic, a "group mood" sentiment read and an anchor-style news video with a talking avatar. A business mode adds auto-replies, business hours, templates and AI replies with lead capture. Site and bot in Spanish, English and Portuguese; a free plan plus Pro and Deluxe subscriptions through PayPal.

This is the product that proves the thesis: one engineer running a single automated pipeline in production — WhatsApp, 3 LLM providers (Gemini by default; OpenAI and Claude with the customer's own key), Whisper transcription, neural text-to-speech and voice cloning, talking-avatar video (HeyGen or D-ID), FFmpeg, payments and a REST API with signed webhooks.
