I'm a dedicated software engineer with over 7 years of experience in backend and frontend development. I've graduated from INTEC University in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 and also studied at Sejong University in South Korea 🇰🇷. I am currently finishing my Master's Degree in Computer Science at Kyungpook National University with a focus on Artificial Intelligence, expected to graduate in August 2024.
These are some of the technologies I've been working with:
Where I've been🏢
BetterUp
At BetterUp, a top-tier US coaching platform, I worked as a Ruby on Rails and JavaScript software engineer part-time contractor. I played a significant role in internal integration tools connecting with third-party platforms like Microsoft Teams, Slack, and other lesser-known platforms. I also helped create their alternative payment platform known as 'Microsites' which handled thousands of transactions for their partners.

Software Developer Contractor
Kaleyra (formerly mGage)
At Kaleyra, a global campaign messaging solution provider, I worked as a Full Stack Software Developer using Java, Ruby on Rails, Golang, and PHP. Initially, at mGage, I designed a multimedia transcoding system and developed high-throughput messaging applications. After mGage was acquired by Kaleyra, I continued my tenure remotely, maintaining scalable applications and refining the microservices architecture by transitioning PHP monoliths to multithreaded Golang applications.

Software Engineer Specialist
Pierpont Global, Inc
Pierpont Global, a startup company I helped create, served as an online car auctioning platform. I worked as a Full Stack Software Developer and lead developer of this venture. Primarily using Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, and Java, my main responsibility was to manage and work with a small team of 4 developers towards the creation of the whole ecosystem of this startup. Unfortunately, the project did not continue after 1 year. I still own the source code.
