About

Engineering with a product lens

My career combines software engineering with marketing technology. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Advertising, which influences how I approach development: not only as working code, but as technology connected to business goals, performance, and user experience. Over 8+ years working with agencies and product teams in the U.S. and the Dominican Republic, I’ve built custom WordPress platforms, WooCommerce solutions, API integrations, and performance-focused digital products supporting large-scale marketing initiatives.
