About me

Education, experience and the tools I work with.

Experience

  1. Jul 2026 — Present · project-based

    Software Developer

    Intercargo Panamá — via Kaizen Apps CR

    I work on the corporate platform: public site, internal portal, due diligence and accounts receivable. I defined its security model, with two instances split by how critical their secrets are, invite-based identity and revocable sessions.

  2. Jan 2024 — Present · full-time

    Software Developer & N2 Technical Support

    Kaizen Apps CR

    Development on the HR ERP the company licenses and on the tools around it, from proposal to production. In N2 support I trace the fault down to the code and fix it.

  3. Jan 2026 — Present · project-based

    Web Developer

    Star Cargo Service

    Bespoke development for the operation: a sales CRM, the warehouse API behind the Android app, a trip-tracking app, and the corporate site redesign. I watch Supabase security advisories and scope per-role permissions over the tables.
