CraftingDigitalArtifacts
A full-stack engineer at the intersection of aesthetic precision and technical robustness. Five years delivering real products for the US market — secure-auth fintech wallets, regulated SaaS, and mobile-first e-commerce platforms.
Professional Stance
End-to-end web product delivery for US and LATAM clients.
Currently in production: mobile-first e-wallet in Next.js with secure sessions — HTTPOnly cookies, token refresh, and protected REST endpoints. Migrated the data layer from DynamoDB to Django microservices and legacy Power BI dashboards to SparkSQL jobs in Scala on Superset.
Regulated loan management platform for US lending operations across multiple state jurisdictions.
Built jurisdiction-configurable form rules: one codebase enforcing state-by-state regulatory requirements without forking. Contributed to a multi-quarter .NET legacy migration and took end-to-end ownership of triage — bugs, new form fields, and registration logic in a regulated environment.
Frontend and technical SEO for Scandia's e-commerce storefront portfolio — saunas, spas, and wellness products.
Performance and SEO optimizations that improved organic ranking and top-of-funnel traffic across multiple brands. Shopify theme customization, third-party API integration, and pixel-accurate responsive layouts from Figma.
IoT startup (field data metering) — refactored the client app to support product growth. Improved component responsiveness and maintainability, coordinated with backend for reliable data flow from physical meters, and worked with design on data visualization and UI states.
Intensive professional development program using Ruby on Rails — code challenges in small teams and a collaborative final project.
SaaS in Production
Lab2Next is a SaaS for clinical laboratories — patient registration, quality control, digital-signature result delivery, full audit trails, and role-based staff management. Guided workflows that reduce errors and accelerate report turnaround. Built, launched, and maintained independently.

The person behind the code
Who I Am
I'm a full-stack engineer with 5+ years delivering production web products for the US market — fintech with secure authentication, regulated multi-state SaaS, and performance-focused e-commerce platforms.
My main stack is React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind. I've built secure-session e-wallets, data-intensive portals, jurisdiction-configurable platforms, and legacy BI migrations to Spark + Superset.
I take end-to-end ownership: from spec to post-launch maintenance. Self-taught, proactive, and obsessive about DX, product quality, and accessibility.
Outside of work, I practice Shotokan Karate (2nd Dan), learn about technology, and play exploration and fantasy titles. I believe that good code and martial arts share clarity, discipline, and constant improvement.
