About Me

I am a Senior Web & Mobile Developer with over 8 years of experience building high-performance digital products that bridge the gap between robust backend architecture and immersive frontend experiences. Currently based in the Dominican Republic, I collaborate remotely with top-tier agencies in New York City, delivering scalable solutions for a diverse global clientele.

Leveraging a strong background in media and performance agencies (OMG, Crunch.io), I specialize in building modular WordPress architectures that serve as powerful marketing engines. I don’t just write code; I build conversion-focused assets that guarantee accurate tracking and seamless data flow between platforms.

My expertise lies at the intersection of modern PHP (Laravel/WordPress) and cutting-edge frontend technologies like Astro and React. Furthermore, I specialize in cross-platform mobile development with Flutter, creating seamless, high-performance applications for iOS and Android. I am deeply committed to the 'AI-First' evolution, integrating intelligent workflows to optimize development and accelerate time-to-market.

Whether it’s architecting complex Headless CMS ecosystems, engineering fluid interactive UIs with Pixi.js and GSAP, or launching robust mobile apps with Flutter, my goal is always the same: to build technology that feels alive and drives real business results.

Capabilities

Headless CMS & WordPress Architecture

I transform WordPress into a powerful Headless CMS, leveraging Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and Oxygen Builder to deliver high-performance, bloat-free websites. By separating content from the presentation layer, I ensure lightning-fast load times, superior SEO, and a tailored editing experience that empowers clients without the risk of breaking the design.

Custom Plugin & Backend Engineering

When off-the-shelf solutions fall short, I build custom PHP and Node.js plugins and integrations. From complex API connections to bespoke business logic, I develop robust server-side functionality that extends your platform's capabilities while maintaining security and high-efficiency code standards.

Advanced Frontend Development

Using React.js and modern frameworks like Astro, I build dynamic, state-driven user interfaces. I focus on component-based architecture and declarative syntax to create scalable, maintainable web applications that provide a seamless, app-like experience on every device.

Cross-Platform Mobile Development

I specialize in building high-performance mobile applications using Flutter. This allows for a single codebase to power beautiful, native-quality apps for both iOS and Android, significantly reducing development time while ensuring a consistent UI/UX and smooth performance.

AI-Integrated Development Workflow

I stay at the forefront of the AI-First evolution by integrating intelligent tools into my development cycle. From leveraging LLMs for rapid prototyping and code optimization to implementing AI-driven features in client projects, I ensure faster delivery times and cutting-edge solutions for complex technical challenges.

Creative Engineering & Motion

I bring digital interfaces to life using GSAP and Pixi.js (WebGL). By blending technical engineering with creative motion, I create immersive, "living" websites—like interactive backgrounds and fluid scroll effects—that capture user attention without compromising accessibility or performance.
