Hi there!

Experience & Education
My professional experience and education
At CodeZeit, I am responsible for developing and maintaining a digital document management and automation platform for one of their clients based in Dublin, Ireland.
Key Achievements
- Diagnosed performance bottlenecks caused by React Context API state propagation
- Helped with the planning and migration of the global state management to an architecture that uses Zustand, reducing re-render time of critical components from ~3000 ms to under 1000 ms (≈80% improvement), improving application responsiveness and general user experience
- Suggested GraphQL Codegen and later implemented it for type-safe API communication, ensuring automatic TypeScript synchronization with backend schemas and eliminating type errors from manual typing
- Migrated the platform from Create React App to Vite, significantly improving development build speeds and HMR (hot module replacement performance)
- Established comprehensive testing infrastructure with Vitest and React Testing Library, integrating MSW for reliable API mocking and integration testing
- Migrated ~50+ components through MUI v4 → v5 → v6, implementing modern design patterns with TypeScript for enhanced type safety
Wanted to formalize my knowledge in software development and computer science. Despite the pandemic, I decided to enroll in the university and study remotely

Decided to make a significant change in my life by seriously learning software development. I began with the basics of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the command line in Linux

An animated illustration I made using html and CSS at the beggining of my learning, I was amazed of the things people do with just CSS and wanted to do something similar right away
About
I’m a software developer currently focused on the development of responsive, SEO-optimized, and accessible web applications and websites, using technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React. I’m always learning new technologies, which has led me to build projects with NextJS and Astro, and I’m looking to expand my skill set with the addition of NodeJS and Express.
I am very confident with the command line and the use of git and GitHub for version control and collaboration. I use Linux almost exclusively, currently running my development environment on the Fedora operating system.
I’m studying Computer Science at Universidad Autónoma de Asunción, where I took a course in UI/UX apart from the regular courses of the career. There, I also gained a good foundation in Java and Spring Boot.
Before coding, I worked at a few orchestras in my country as a cello player, where I had the opportunity to play with great musicians and conductors.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and tasting coffee from different regions of the world. There is no greater pleasure for me than to start the day coding with a cup of v60, French press, or cold brew coffee that I’ve prepared myself. I also enjoy reading science fiction and thriller books.
