I am a Full Stack Engineer from Colombia with 8+ years of professional experience building production software for real businesses, users, and operational constraints.
My strongest area is backend engineering: PHP, Laravel, WordPress, WooCommerce, APIs, business logic, authentication, roles, permissions, queues, cron jobs, MySQL, performance, and production architecture.
Open to remote work, international contracts, and freelance projects.

Teaching keeps my communication sharp and reinforces the way I build software: clear structure, practical examples, and systems that people can understand, operate, and maintain.
