Hi, I'm André

Full-Stack Software Developer

I build web applications with React, Next.js and TypeScript — from government platforms serving 150,000+ citizens to SaaS products, online stores and WordPress sites.

About

Who I Am

I graduated as an Electronics and Communications engineer from INTEC in 2019, but I got into software through the back door: two years as a QA tester at Altice Dominicana, breaking other people's code for a living. It was the best training I could have asked for. I learned what fragile software looks like from the outside, and I still write code expecting someone to try to break it.

In 2021 I moved into development at OGTIC, the Dominican government's technology office, and I have been building public services there ever since. My work runs on platforms most Dominicans have used at least once: the national scholarships portal, with more than 157,000 users; gob.do, the single entry point to 300+ state services; the 311 system for citizen complaints and the internal CRM that institutions use to resolve them; and the public information access portal, where I was the only frontend developer.

That audience shapes how I build. These platforms get opened on old phones and slow connections, by people who need something from the State and cannot afford a form that loses their data on step four — so performance, accessibility and solid validation are not polish, they are the job. Day to day that means React, Next.js and TypeScript, TanStack Query for server state and Zod for validation. I work in Agile sprints alongside designers, backend developers and QA teams, and I have owned architecture and performance decisions on the frontend of systems used by institutions across the country.

Outside the office I build for clients and for myself: WordPress and e-commerce sites for local businesses, and Propio, my own SaaS for independent landlords, where I own the whole stack from Postgres to the interface. I work in Spanish and English. Away from the keyboard you will find me gaming, at the gym, or catching a movie with friends.
